Forecasts

Group One Power (11/8), Soto Sizzler (3/1), Lost Eden (4/1), Red Force One (10/1), Midnights Legacy (12/1), Autumn War (12/1), Frontispiece (12/1), The Trader (14/1), Australis (22/1), Wait For The Lord (25/1), Koeman (25/1), Percy Street (66/1)

Verdict

GROUP ONE POWER has benefited from more positive tactics this term and, provided he doesn't face too much pressure up front, he's capable of adding to his C&D win on reappearance. The likeable Midnights Legacy also makes appeal, while Frontispiece is one to consider at a bigger price.

  1. GROUP ONE POWER
  2. MIDNIGHTS LEGACY
  3. FRONTISPIECE
