Forecasts

Iwasjustsaying (7/4), United Authority (5/2), Talamon (4/1), Astabuen (5/1), Inkjet (17/2), Waqqad (18/1), Revoked (20/1), Meticulously (22/1), Arabian Blue (25/1), Gilded Call (80/1)

Verdict

IWASJUSTSAYING looked potentially useful when scoring on his Doncaster debut and this Group-entered son of Ghaiyyath might be able to give the weight away. Astabuen is feared most on the back of a promising opening effort at Newmarket. United Authority should also build on his first run at Sandown, while Inkjet is a newcomer who makes paper appeal for a leading yard.
