Forecasts

Sunset Shiraz (11/4), Emporio (9/2), Cosmic Vega (5/1), Glounthaune (5/1), Power Under Me (17/2), Neptune Rock (10/1), Casanova (12/1), Federal (12/1), Lust (14/1), Marcher Lord (16/1), Eskimo Komet (33/1), Freedom Of Speech (40/1), Pale Iris (40/1), Tartan Skirt (66/1), Laughifuwant (66/1)

Verdict

In theory this is a pretty big step up in class for FEDERAL, but such was the impression he created when landing the Irish Cambridgeshire on handicap debut at the Curragh last time, he looks well worth his place in this. Lust and Glounthaune are established at this level and head the opposition.
