Forecasts

Verdict

A fascinating clash in prospect, between two potentially smart colts in ANDAB and Albert Einstein. The latter was well-touted ahead of his recent debut at Naas and duly delivered in the manner of one befitting his credentials and prohibitive odds. He is greatly respected, but at the forecast prices Andab is more appealing, given that he looked equally promising (at the very least) on his introduction over this C&D and is also open to any amount of improvement. First Approach is best of the rest.
