Forecasts

Iris Bud (11/8), Paycheck (4/1), Velma (7/1), At Ease (15/2), Song At Twilight (10/1), Gumra (14/1), La Puntalina (14/1), O Ren Ishii (33/1), Dulcima (33/1), Budanova (66/1), Sezina (125/1), Bella Gleneagles (125/1), Clarity Bay (250/1), Plusdargent (250/1)

IRIS BUD looked like a filly that would improve for the experience at Chelmsford on debut last month. Representing a top yard that regularly gets the best out of similar types, she's hard to oppose. Paycheck has some solid form and will be the most likely to capitalise if John Gosden's filly disappoints. At Ease, O Ren Ishii and Song At Twilight all look of some interest on debut.
