Forecasts

Divine Covey (10/11), Sneaky (7/2), Crime Of Passion (11/2), Cece Ceylon (8/1), Multiply By Eight (10/1), Dragon Flight (25/1), Graceful Magic (33/1)

Not a great deal of previous form to study, so the best place to turn for clues is to the market. However, without that information as a guide at time of writing, the safest approach is perhaps to side with the King Power Racing Co representative MULTIPLY BY EIGHT who has retained rider Silvestre De Sousa aboard. She is bred to be speedy as a half-sister to the 2012 Queen Mary winner Ceiling Kitty amongst others. Of the remainder Divine Covey rates as a likely type and Sneaky shouldn't be dismissed just yet, primarily on account of her bang in-form trainer Archie Watson.
