Forecasts

Aussie Girl (5/2), Yerwanthere (4/1), Adelaise (5/1), Lan Cinnte (7/1), Transcendental (17/2), Mauiewowie (9/1), No Niki No (14/1), Capuchinero (16/1), Independent Expert (16/1), Marsa (33/1), Sheyya (40/1)

ADELAISE is fancied to build on her promising Royal Ascot big-field handicap fourth and get off the mark for her current yard. Yerwanthere rates a big threat having finished a place behind her stablemate there, with in-form Aussie Girl appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
