Forecasts

Nikini (11/10), Rattle And Hum (2/1), Rapparee Champ (7/2), Votre Homme (10/1), Chicago Storm (18/1), Evans Secret (40/1), Vincenzo Gamba (66/1), Daghdha (100/1), Natural Ability (150/1), Way Forward (150/1), Karayaz (150/1)

Verdict

NIKINI has shown more than enough over jumps to think she can make a winning Flat debut and is comfortably preferred to Rattle And Hum, who has achieved most in this discipline. Newcomer Rapparee Champ is one to note if the market speaks in his favour.
