Forecasts

Cases can be made for most but preference is for YOUNG AND FUN. Roger Varian's filly took a significant step forward from her debut at Chelmsford just over a fortnight ago, only finding an above-average sort too strong, so she's fancied to make it third time lucky. Flight of Angels made a promising start when just a ½-length behind the selection so she's feared most with that under her belt, ahead of Good Gracious.
