Forecasts

Mo Anam Chara (11/4), Badger's Cove (11/4), John La Bear (4/1), Push Harder (15/2), Sapphire Dream (8/1), Dawson Street (14/1), Bullet Bourbon (14/1), Wingit (25/1), Keskon (25/1), Queen Leila (50/1), Darwin's Angel (66/1)

Verdict

BADGER'S COVE had several of these behind when making a winning nursery debut 3 weeks ago, looking far more straightforward fitted with blinkers. He can uphold that form, with John La Bear feared most, though Mo Anam Chara is a potential improver.

  1. BADGER'S COVE
