Forecasts

Vivianite (3/1), Would Be King (3/1), Spirit Of Big Bang (7/2), Fridtjof Nansen (6/1), Shareva (8/1), Encantador (12/1), Swiss Cottage (12/1), Fabulae (20/1), Ottava (20/1), Where To Next (33/1), Flicker Flame (33/1), Latina Royale (33/1), Vintage Teardrop (33/1), Um Bel Di (50/1), Multan (66/1), Bahlwan (100/1)

Verdict

Would Be King has the credentials but has become frustrating and somewhat costly to follow, though he surely can win a race of this nature. Fridtjof Nansen has been going the right way and has a runner-up finish over C&D already, she should be involved, but perhaps this is destined for VIVIANITE. She was an excellent second at the Curragh last time and won't need much more in a first-time hood to get off the mark. Newcomer Ottava also merits close inspection.
  1. Vivianite
