Forecasts

Detective (5/4), Alyara (5/1), Royal Countess (15/2), Flying Moon (8/1), Italian Breeze (9/1), Star Shakeera (10/1), Billy Roberts (20/1), Dreamseller (22/1), Brazen Prince (28/1), Prince Ali (28/1), Melgate Mystic (33/1), Lochnaver (125/1)

There's every chance of Dianne Sayer's DETECTIVE landing a fourth C&D success of the summer. Star Shakeera took a step forward when runner-up at Doncaster earlier this month and she's feared most ahead of fellow 3-y-o filly Alyara.
