Forecasts

Curtiz (3/1), Oblate (5/1), Badger Berry (6/1), The Retriever (13/2), Geography Teacher (15/2), Sweet Angel (9/1), Six Til Twelve (11/1), Fear Naught (14/1), Captainofthebounty (18/1), Muqarred (28/1), The Stalking Moon (40/1), Pilgrims Pursuit (200/1), Miss Plymwick (200/1)

CURTIZ took well to this surface when runner-up in a stronger race over C&D last time and is fancied to go one better under another forceful ride. Fellow 3-y-o Sweet Angel also recorded a positive fibresand debut recently, so she's regarded as the main threat ahead of the consistent Six Til Twelve.
