Forecasts

World Famous (2/1), Changingoftheguard (16/5), River Thames (5/1), Yashin (13/2), Golden Beach (13/2), Mr Globalist (8/1), Fearless Futures (9/1), Believe In Science (11/1), Zuhra (12/1), Tourgar Raude (25/1), Danfango (33/1), Saval Boys (40/1), Golden Ticket (50/1), Swing Point (66/1), Ta Na La (80/1), Dubirango (100/1), Chutzpal (125/1)

Several of these have already shown plenty of ability, but newcomer RIVER THAMES, who holds several Group-race entries, may well be the answer. He appears to be the stable second-string behind Changingoftheguard judged on jockey bookings, but there's plenty to like about this Churchill colt on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. World Famous is second choice.
