Forecasts

Strike Alliance (5/2), Two Past Eight (3/1), Lord Sam's Castle (10/3), Devil's Kingdom (9/2), Majestic Jameela (6/1), Hadley Park (13/2), Logistical (12/1), Angel's Voice (12/1), Sunrise Boy (16/1)

Verdict

An early-season juvenile with stamina probably not at a premium, so it may pay to side with LORD SAM'S CASTLE, who was the pick of these on the level. Alan King has very few peers in these races so Two Past Eight demands respect, along with Strike Alliance.

  1. LORD SAM'S CASTLE (IRE)
  2. TWO PAST EIGHT
