Forecasts

Individualism (11/4), Devil's Point (7/2), Stratocracy (5/1), Miletus (10/1), Empire Of Art (10/1), Celtic Warrior (10/1), Royal Supremacy (12/1), Persica (12/1), Brunel Nation (16/1), Chequers Court (16/1), Liveandletlive (25/1), Yarborough (50/1), Red Cloud (50/1), Our Papa Smurf (66/1)

Verdict

INDIVIDUALISM shaped with loads of promise when runner-up on his debut at Ayr last month and would have arguably done even better had he been held onto for a bit longer (good headway to lead over 1f out), so he's fully expected to confirm that promise and get off the mark at the second time of asking. This does contain several interesting newcomers though, perhaps none more so than Stratocracy and Miletus, who both hold a Group 2 entry in the Champagne Stakes. Devil's Point is also feared.
