Forecasts

Sovereign Spell (10/11), Goldwork (13/8), Alvin (4/1), Stellar Sunrise (9/2), Mission Classified (6/1), Arjack (7/1), Orange Emperor (18/1)

SOVEREIGN SPELL sets a good standard based on his close second at Newmarket on debut and should prove tough to beat. Mission Classified and Stellar Sunrise are a couple of newcomers to keep an eye on.
