Forecasts

Absolute Queen (10/3), Little Hug (10/3), All Inclusive (7/2), Cheeky Maxi (4/1), Gaallib (11/1), Continuation (12/1), Chuck Taylor (14/1)

ABSOLUTE QUEEN didn't progress from first run to second, but her debut form still gives her leading claims in a race such as this, and she's the most likely winner. Little Hug is the obvious danger after an encouraging debut at Newmarket, while Chuck Taylor is another one in range of the benchmark with the promise of more to come.
