Forecasts

Chicago Lightening (5/4), Trent (4/1), The Hansome Prince (9/2), Sister Bridget (13/2), The Churchill Lad (13/2), Guess (8/1), Sixteen Arches (12/1), Singsong Lady (16/1), Brave Troop (33/1), Patrick Street (40/1), French Rescue (66/1), Urban Oasis (100/1), Kodis Well (125/1), Dromore Glory (150/1), Dubirango (200/1), Penny Pingleton (250/1), Griseo (250/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest, and CHICAGO LIGHTENING is taken to build on her promising debut third over 6f here and open her account with this longer trip a big plus. Sister Bridget also shaped well when fourth over C&D on her first run and is next on the list ahead of Trent, who has the form to play a big part if resurgent in first-time blinkers.
