Forecasts

Erosandpsyche (5/2), Tees Spirit (16/5), Moss Tucker (4/1), Ano Syra (4/1), Strong Johnson (8/1), The Highway Rat (14/1), Are We Dreaming (28/1), Chocquinto (50/1), Saliteh (66/1), Tamazu (150/1)

ANO SYRA excelled herself when runner-up in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that level may well suffice back in listed company. Erosanspsyche is absolutely thriving and won't give up his winning sequence without a fight, while Tees Spirit deserves a shot at this level.
