Forecasts

Return Of The Gods (11/8), High Approval (15/8), Noble Vow (9/4), Ocean Of Storms (20/1), Because We Can (25/1), Regal And Real (50/1), Lady V (66/1), Chinchin (80/1), Electrocution (125/1)

NOBLE VOW has made steady progress so far and might be able to make it fourth time lucky. There was plenty to like about the C&D debut performance of Return of The Gods and he might pose the biggest threat given that High Approval seems to be going the wrong way.
