Forecasts

The Platinum Queen (9/4), Coeur De Pierre (6/1), Flotus (15/2), Teresa Mendoza (17/2), Mo Celita (9/1), Moss Tucker (16/1), Mooneista (16/1), Berneuil (18/1), White Lavender (20/1), Castle Star (20/1), A Case Of You (22/1), Mitbaahy (25/1), Agiato (25/1), Tees Spirit (25/1), Caturra (28/1), Raasel (33/1), New York City (50/1), Ponntos (66/1), Miramar (80/1)

THE PLATINUM QUEEN has already proved herself against older opposition when second in the Nunthorpe at York and could be hard to catch if bagging the rail from stall 7. A Case of You won this race last year under similar conditions so needs considering despite his high draw, while Berneuil and Coeur de Pierre both ran good trials for this when 1-2 in the Prix du Petit Couvert over C&D 3 weeks ago.
