Forecasts

Azure Blue (11/8), Forgivable (3/1), Green Team (13/2), Marhaba The Champ (11/1), Wootton'sun (14/1), Beluga Gold (14/1), Celestial Star (16/1), Kanzino (16/1), Shimmering Sands (16/1), Echosmith (40/1), Yeeeaah (50/1), Sophiesticate (100/1), Sun Hill (100/1), Bitcoin Ranger (125/1)

AZURE BLUE was perhaps unlucky not to win given she met trouble and was very strong at the line at Carlisle a month ago. With this step up in trip sure to suit and in receipt of weight from most, she looks the way to go. Newcomers may offer most resistance, with Marhaba The Champ and Kanzino of particular interest.
