Forecasts

Rose For Trippi (9/4), Cold Fact (4/1), Alula's Star (4/1), Good Queen Bess (5/1), Rockets Red Glare (6/1), Bella Chica (9/1), Queen Of Gaul (16/1), May Queen (18/1), Fennec Fox (22/1)

Verdict

ROSE FOR TRIPPI is narrowly favoured all things considered but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Rockets Red Glare has the strongest claims of the remainder, while Good Queen Bess is the tentative selection for third. .

  1. Rose For Trippi9/4
  2. Rockets Red Glare6/1
