Forecasts

Champers Elysees (2/1), Zaffy's Pride (4/1), Queen's Speech (4/1), No Speak Alexander (11/2), Elizabethan (17/2), Soul Search (9/1), Valeria Messalina (10/1), Belle Image (33/1), Sweet Gardenia (50/1)

QUEEN'S SPEECH looked potentially useful in making a winning debut in a C&D maiden in November, scoring with any amount to spare. She's open to significant progress moving forward and can come out on top, possibly at the chief expense of Champers Elysees who was one of the most improved horses in training last term. Elizabethan and No Speak Alexander complete the shortlist.
