Forecasts

Shimmering Dawn (13/8), Queen's Course (85/40), Afraid Of Nothing (5/2), Newscaster (11/1)

This may develop into a match between SHIMMERING DAWN and Afraid of Nothing, with preference for James Tate's filly having not been disgraced in listed company at this course 5 weeks ago. Ralph Beckett's charge needs to bounce from a below-par effort in a similar event last time, while Queen's Course isn't discounted if either of the principals fail to fire.
