8/13
Spanish Voice showed promise when third on debut at Kempton in December 2024 and that form has worked out rather well, with the runner-up winning next time. Andrew Balding’s colt won a Newmarket novice last time out and winning under a penalty shouldn’t be beyond him.

Spanish Voice
Betting Forecast:
4/6 Spanish Voice,
2/1 Bintkend,
8/1 Abando,
16/1 Nuptown Girl,
50/1 Masked Mistress
