Forecasts

Sovereign Beauty (18/5), Kyllachy Dragon (4/1), Deftera Lad (4/1), Waqaas (13/2), Sfumato (7/1), Dors Toyboy (9/1), Princess Mayson (9/1), No Diggity (28/1), Sarah's Verse (33/1), The Red Witch (40/1), Imhotep (66/1)

This can go to SOVEREIGN BEAUTY, who returned to form when runner-up at Salisbury earlier this month and remains fairly treated. Sfumato and Kyllachy Dragon rate the principal dangers.
