Forecasts

Asking (2/1), Petticoat (4/1), Music Box (11/2), Dilmun (8/1), Drumfad Bay (10/1), Cirin Toinne (11/1), Puppetshow (16/1), Valentana (20/1), Old Time Waltz (25/1), Ruby Shoes (25/1), Camellia Japonica (66/1), Furiosa (66/1)

Cirin Toinne and Old Time Waltz can make the running here, with Furiosa and ASKING tucking in behind. The favourite will take some beating here, who ran a cracker in Group 3 Brownstown Stakes, when third of seven, 12 days ago. The Jessica Harrington-trained, Drumfad Bay, 19th of 24 in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and Music Box, consistent in the main this season and won last day, can make the frame.
