Forecasts

Skellet (2/1), Rascal Recknell (3/1), Royal Supremacy (6/1), Dark Tornado (8/1), Reaching High (8/1), Endosser (8/1), Liveandletlive (12/1), Colorada Dancer (16/1), Cracker Star (20/1), Wind River (33/1), Our Papa Smurf (66/1), Red Cloud (66/1)

The market should prove to be informative in a maiden for newcomers, though SKELLET is evidently well thought of given her Rockfel entry. Endosser proved popular at the Breeze Ups so looks a likely type, while Sea The Stars colt Reaching High is one to note being out of Gold Cup winner Estimate.
