Forecasts

Aesterius (10/11), Bolo Neighs (7/2), Binadham (7/2), Mukaber (7/1), Emporess (10/1), Subsonictoshannon (10/1), Sir Palamedes (12/1), Redorange (14/1), Ardennes (16/1), Biddable (100/1), Glendine (125/1)

Connections went to £380,000 to acquire AESTERIUS, and representing a yard with an excellent record with juvenile newcomers, he's selected to make a winning start. Binadham was quite impressive at Yarmouth and will make a bold bid at defying a penalty, with Bolo Neighs a very likely improver.
