Forecasts

Sazerak (16/5), Flexi Furlough (4/1), Misty Mani (4/1), Simplystic (4/1), Grey Frontieres (7/1), Cresswell Queen (9/1), Lazarina (10/1), Charlottes Way (16/1), Fame And Quantum (20/1), Flakarna (28/1), Penny Hill (50/1), Dapper Daisy (100/1)

A chance is taken on SAZERAK, who was comfortably held on her 1½m Wetherby debut at the end of 2019 but was prominent in the betting for a stable which is no stranger to bumper success and has the potential for better now stepping up in trip. Flexi Furlough merits respect after finishing a fair fourth on her Market Rasen debut last month, while Misty Mani is a newcomer who makes some appeal.
