Forecasts

Alonzo (11/8), Man Of Worth (9/4), Bladon (3/1), Evans Secret (8/1), Jinxs Link (22/1), Ages Of Man (33/1), Big Smoke (125/1), Crazy Warrior (150/1)

Verdict

BLADON shaped with encouragement at a big price on debut 10 months ago and, while not seen since, he's joined a top stable since and has the potential for much better, so he's marginally preferred to stablemate Alonzo, who sets the standard on what's been achieved to this point. Evans Secret should typically give his running but may come up short for ability.
