Forecasts

Spirituoso (5/2), Chateau Musar (7/2), Shining Aitch (11/2), Chally Chute (6/1), El C Wells (9/1), Lady De Vesci (10/1), Gift Of Kings (12/1), Mosaaheb (14/1), Futurum Regem (16/1), Boing (22/1), Ragtime Red (28/1), Fryda (28/1), Portville (28/1), Polar Peak (33/1), Monsieur Piquer (125/1)

SPIRITUOSO looks the most solid option on the back of solid placed efforts off this mark at Gowran the last twice. She was successful over C&D in March, so returning to this surface will not be a problem. The majority of her rivals has a point to prove for one reason or another, and it could be that El C Wells and Mosaaheb will emerge as the main dangers.
