Forecasts

Mehdaayih (5/2), Lady Cosette (10/3), Accordance (9/2), Deira Surprise (5/1), Wingreen (7/1), Furious (7/1), Rux Power (12/1), Stellar Comet (16/1), Incharge (16/1), Black Medick (33/1), Summer Skies (40/1), Red Archangel (40/1), Sweet Jemima (50/1)

It might be worth taking a chance on the well-bred MEHDAAYIH. The daughter of Frankel is beautifully bred and her trainer John Gosden is likely to have her ready to do herself justice on debut here. Lady Cosette was an expensive Breeze-up purchase who ran well on debut at Kempton. Accordance is another one who has experience and her yard have a fine record at this meeting.
