Forecasts

Jenson Benson (7/4), Finery (9/4), Always Fearless (6/1), Light Up Our Stars (7/1), Sky Blue Thinking (8/1), Cap D'Antibes (11/1), El Camino (12/1), Hurcle (40/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the most persuasive one is for JENSON BENSON who travelled strongly for a long way when runner-up over C&D last time and can go one better now with that form working out well. Finery rates a big threat on the back of her recent C&D second, with both Light Up Our Stars and El Camino shortlisted too.
