Forecasts

Atailof Two Cities (7/4), Red Dragoness (10/3), Irish Minister (5/1), Amourie (8/1), Epaneema (12/1), Our Cilla (16/1), Geyser (18/1), Dolphin Village (22/1), Mr Sundowner (25/1), America First (40/1), Duke Of Yorkshire (50/1), Gloryella (200/1)

ATAILOF TWO CITIES is less exposed than most of these and with the step up to 2m expected to suit she is taken to open her account. Irish Minister is handily weighted so looks the one to give Charlie Fellowes' filly most to do. Amourie appeals as the pick of the remainder.
