Forecasts

Azaheer (7/4), Mhajim (5/2), Neandra (9/2), Caryatid (11/2), Sicilian Vito (10/1), Rogue Mission (25/1), Gargle (66/1), Wadacre Tir (66/1)

A few with chances, but AZAHEER holds a clear edge on form and looks the way to go with this step up to 10f also a plus for the Gosdens' progressive filly. Haydock-fourth Caryatid also promises to benefit from this longer distance though so can have a say, while Neandra is another who needs considering on the back of her promising Chelmsford City debut third.
