Forecasts

Shadow King (6/4), Meennaa (4/1), Bin Waary (9/2), Blue Skies Above (11/2), From Me To You (11/1), Green Sovereign (12/1), Drum Major (18/1), Perigord Noir (33/1), Martha Brown (50/1)

Verdict

It's hard to ignore the start Archie Watson has made with his 2-y-os this season and he could have another winning newcomer with the sharply-bred MEENNAA. Shadow King should improve for his initial outing in a Newmarket novice that's already working out well and he can get the better of another debutant in Blue Skies Above in the battle for the places.
