Forecasts

Eagle Eyed Freddie (15/8), Aiguillette (2/1), Connemera Queen (4/1), Royal Heart (6/1), Dark Kris (7/1), Well Prepared (17/2), Havergate Island (25/1), Apache Charm (25/1), Kraka (40/1), Kingston Kurrajong (40/1)

AIGUILLETTE has a few good efforts to his name here and could prove the answer to this opening classified event. Eagle Eyed Freddie came good at Southwell recently on the back of a breathing operation and could build on that so he's feared most ahead of Dark Kris, whose sole victory came at this venue.
