Forecasts

Plansina (7/2), Zefferino (9/2), Turn Of Phrase (11/2), Essgee Nics (11/2), Zest Of Zambia (8/1), Telekinetic (17/2), Mirakuhl (9/1), Born To Sire (14/1), Blairlogie (20/1), Eagle's First (25/1), Champagne Highlife (33/1), Sky Central (200/1), Tally's Son (200/1), Mylittelriver (200/1)

The one with the most pressing claims is clearly ESSGEE NICS, who looked better than ever when scoring on the all-weather last week. That was a weak race, but so is this and his sole previous turf success was gained over this C&D on fast ground last summer. Plansina is 3 lb lower than when striking here in May and she is second choice ahead of Turn of Phrase.
