Forecasts

Nahanni (10/11), Mhajim (3/1), Thundersquall (10/3), Little Hustle (10/1), Nova Vida (20/1), Satanic Moon (40/1), Saint Peter (50/1), Highland Billy (150/1)

Both MHAJIM and Nahanni shaped with of plenty of promise on their respective debuts about a month ago, but with significant improvement anticipated from the former, John & Thady Gosden's charge shades the vote. Both Charlie Appleby's colts make plenty of appeal though, and Nahanni can put his experience to good use and get the better of stablemate Thundersquall for second spot.
