Forecasts

Far Above (11/8), Franz Kafka (13/8), Qutob (8/1), Aluqair (14/1), Greek Kodiac (20/1), Sassoon (20/1), Mohareb (20/1), Joyful Mission (25/1), Rum Baba (28/1), Global Gift (33/1), Dutch Story (33/1), Entertaining (50/1), Lost In Alaska (66/1), Global Quality (100/1), Sandy Steve (200/1), Broughtons Bear (200/1)

Verdict

Lots of interesting types for the future, but FRANZ KAFKA sets a solid standard on form, and is very much the one the others have to aim at. Sassoon caught the eye on both juvenile starts, and is sure to win races this year, so is shortlisted along with Qutob, with Joyful Mission and Far Above appealing most of the newcomers.
  1. Franz Kafka
  2. Sassoon
  3. Far Above
