Forecasts

Helvic Dream (5/4), Amma Grace (7/2), Raise You (11/2), Mythical (8/1), Numerian (10/1), Yaxeni (12/1), Simply A Breeze (12/1), Lobo Rojo (14/1), Elizabethofaragon (18/1), Flight Risk (33/1), Starlight Dream (40/1), Tashi (66/1), Pugin (80/1), Danger Money (100/1)

HELVIC DREAM showed big improvement when routing what looked a deep field in a Group 3 at the Curragh 2 weeks ago and is taken to defy a penalty back down in class. Amma Grace was an excellent second in the Blandford Stakes and rates the main threat ahead of Numerian, who was only just denied in the Royal Whip on his penultimate start.
