Forecasts

Lone Eagle (4/11), Zakaria (7/1), Clay (10/1), Golden Crusader (12/1), In The Breeze (20/1), Oman (33/1)

Connections went to 500,000 gns to acquire LONE EAGLE as a yearling, and following a debut full of promise when second at Sandown 3 weeks ago, he looks a useful prospect. Zakaria didn't achieve as much as the selection starting out at the same venue but 1m will suit and he is feared most.
