Forecasts

Soldier Blue (3/1), Ingleby Molly (10/3), Gettin' Lucky (9/2), Time Medicean (12/1), Coiste Bodhar (12/1), Culloden (12/1), Burauq (14/1), Evanescent (14/1), Prezzie (16/1), Felstead Knight (22/1), Blistering Dancer (25/1), Billy's Boots (40/1), Henrietta's Dream (125/1)

Plenty of early speed on in the early stages with Culloden, Coiste Bodhar and Evanescent vying for the lead. The pace could see the front three run the race out of themselves opening an advantage for a late closer in the shape of GETTING LUCKY who will benefit from the drop to 6f. The Milton Bradley-trained Burauq and Ingleby Molly, who could benefit from a strong gallop, deserve consideration in the opener.
