Forecasts

The Ridler (9/4), Favourite Queen (11/4), Havana Angel (10/3), Jaxta (17/2), Unknown Angel (16/1), High Flying (16/1), Lily In The Jungle (20/1), Harswell Rose (25/1), Varden Kite (50/1), Montelusa (80/1)

THE RIDLER made a pleasing start when fourth over C&D and is fancied to build on that and emerge on top. Both Havana Angel and Favourite Queen showed up well on their debuts too and appeal as the duo to chase home Richard Fahey's colt in that order.
