Forecasts

Constitution Hill (6/4), The New Lion (15/8), Anzadam (11/4), Golden Ace (22/1), Nemean Lion (40/1)

Verdict

THE NEW LION looks speedy enough to cope with a drop to 2m and is selected to remain unbeaten. Constitution Hill would obviously be a huge threat if still capable of anywhere near approaching his best form but there have to be doubts after the way last season ended and it could be that the main threat comes from the exciting Anzadam.
