Forecasts

Twilight Madness (1/1), Yimou (10/3), Royal Musketeer (6/1), Louie de Palma (12/1), Top Breeze (16/1), Society Lion (16/1), Nefarious (28/1)

TWILIGHT MADNESS was very impressive when winning on turf for the first time at Newmarket last month. He's been raised 9 lb for that success but should be able to continue his upward trajectory to gain a fourth win in a row. Yimou is a consistent sprinter and he looks to be the biggest danger. Royal Musketeer looks the best of the rest.
