Forecasts

Granary Queen (15/8), Elvic (15/8), Mellys Flyer (9/2), Khufu (5/1), Emjaytwentythree (5/1), Lady Susie (18/1)

Ready preference is for ELVIC, who looked a completely different proposition when making a winning start for new connections at Leicester recently. She may well have more to offer and will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Granary Queen was back in fourth in that Leicester handicap and can follow Elvic home here, with Mellys Flyer taken to collect minor place money.
