Forecasts

The Watcher (1/5), Political Power (7/2), Daring Flight (4/1), Kamekist (20/1), Double Mocha (33/1), Sovereign Lad (40/1), Treacle Villa (150/1), Ejuna (250/1)

Karl Burke's THE WATCHER created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking at Newcastle and is fancied to make light of his 7 lb penalty. Political Power ran well for his new yard when runner-up at the same track last time out and is feared most ahead of Charlie Appleby's Daring Flight.
