Forecasts

Russellinthebushes (2/1), Radetsky (9/4), Mega Marvel (9/2), Steelriver (13/2), Glorious Charmer (12/1), Lucia Joy (14/1), Cool Spirit (28/1), Zwift (50/1), Heerose Girl (125/1)

RADETSKY makes his debut for a new yard after a 6-month absence but he holds the strongest form claims. Russellinthebushes is in decent heart and looks the biggest threat, with Lucia Joy and Steelriver capable of fighting out third.
