Forecasts

Carolina Reaper (7/4), Squeaker (3/1), Al Hujaija (10/3), Marie's Secret (14/1), Hagwa (14/1), Ambiente Amigo (16/1), Oops (18/1), Phoenix Duchess (22/1), Asteverdi (40/1), War Chimes (40/1), Union Jackie (150/1)

Roger Varian's AL HUJAIJA shaped very well when runner-up at Newbury last time and looks the way to go with the extra furlong a plus too for this Kodiac filly. Carolina Reaper also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list ahead of Squeaker and Oops who can fight it out for minor honours.
