Forecasts

Alizee Javilex (7/4), Capsy De Mee (9/2), Petrify (5/1), Benbecula (7/1), Scorpion Star (9/1), Willyegolassiego (10/1), Midnight Magic (12/1), Quinto (14/1), Starlit Night (25/1), Chance It (50/1), St Peter's Square (66/1)

ALIZEE JAVILEX ran well when placed on debut for this yard and she can go one better than when finishing runner-up on that occasion. The selection should appreciate this step up in distance and can take this from Petrify who has won here already this season. Third place can go to Scorpion Star who is stepping up in distance and has won in point-to-point company in the past.
