Forecasts

Masque Of Anarchy (3/1), Aradena (3/1), Hot Team (7/1), Cayman Moon (7/1), Reclaim Victory (17/2), Monash (11/1), Ayr Empress (11/1), Star Shakeera (11/1), The Brora Pobbles (20/1), Grimsthorpe Castle (28/1), Le Magnifique (40/1), Sienna Dream (66/1), Lochnaver (100/1), Rita R (100/1)

ARADENA is unexposed and she ran well on this surface at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. She's likely to take another step forward and looks the one to beat. Cayman Moon also ran well on tapeta at Wolverhampton last time and he looks the biggest danger. Masque of Anarchy and Hot Team aren't out of it either.
