Forecasts

Shibuya Song (9/4), Sea Of Charm (4/1), Delphinus (9/2), Aurora Papillon (13/2), Heroic Holly (8/1), Missy's Hobbs (8/1), City Spirit (9/1)

None of these can be ruled out so at the likely odds it is worth siding with MISSY'S HOBBS who is fancied to take a big step forward now she steps into handicap company for the first time over a trip that should really suit (Australia half-sister to Irish Derby winner Jack Hobbs). Windsor-second Delphinus heads the list of dangers, although Sea of Charm is also weighed to have a say and Chepstow-scorer Aurora Papillon and the unexposed Heroic Holly both need factoring in too.
