Forecasts

Broctune Red (2/1), Stealing Silk (3/1), Calonne (4/1), Absolute Dream (7/1), Straight Ash (14/1), Strong Steps (18/1), New Look (25/1), Budanova (33/1), Tarnhelm (33/1), Zeshov (33/1), Elspeth Rose (40/1), Ideal Candy (50/1), Desert Dream (66/1), Captainofthebounty (80/1)

STEALING SILK has been progressive since switched to tapeta and she remains of interest given how much she had in hand here 2 weeks ago. Broctune Red arrives on the back of a career-best win over C&D so rates the main threat ahead of Straight Ash.
