Forecasts
Gold Cup Day (1/1), Middle Ages (10/3), Pole Star (9/2), Minhad (6/1), Dangerman (16/1), Bahadur (50/1)
This looks between POLE STAR and Gold Cup Day, with marginal preference for the former who was considerately handled on his introduction at Chester. Gold Cup Day looks very promising but conceding 6 lb to the selection could prove beyond him, for all that he is also open to improvement. Middle Ages brings potential to the table, too, but he will need to take a sizeable step forward in order to trouble the aforementioned colts.
