Forecasts

Authorized Mission (10/11), Tees Comp's Clive (9/2), Gonnino (13/2), Coral Blue (9/1), Trailblazer (11/1), Better Be Definite (16/1), Bridge Court (20/1), Cage Rattler (22/1), Blended Stealth (40/1)

AUTHORIZED MISSION disappointed on his final 2 starts last term, but he's fancied to get back on track now returning to a lower grade for a new stable that has very much hit form. Gonnino promises to be suited by the step up to 2½m and must enter calculations, along with veteran Coral Blue, who has dropped a long way in the weights and took a step back in the right direction at Carlisle recently.
