Forecasts

Peach Tree (6/4), Hermosa (7/2), Lightning Amber (7/1), Queen Medb (8/1), Goddess (12/1), Tiple (16/1), Paistiul (16/1), Pleasurable (16/1), Bandiuc Eile (33/1), The Next Abbey (33/1), Sovereigns Bright (50/1), Shandredee (66/1)

A maiden that looks sure to produce some high-class fillies in time and Aidan O'Brien's has a strong hand with his trio. PEACH TREE has the benefit of experience and gets the vote of stable jockey Ryan Moore; she's taken to take a big step forward and land the opener in which the yard have won three the last four renewals of. Pleasurable is a fascinating debutante for Jessica Harrington who shouldn't be taken lightly while Queen Medb ought to appreciate this test and represents a yard in form.
