Forecasts

Foxtrot Zulu (4/6), Settlement (3/1), Camelot Alexander (9/2), Grateful (11/2), Unreasonable (13/2), Glor Tire (7/1), Glimmerglass (16/1), Masaiya (40/1), Abel Mabel (100/1), The Crafty Girl (200/1)

A host in with chances and it could be worth taking a punt on newcomer FOXTROT ZULU, who fetched a mouth-watering 450,000 gns as a yearling and confidence would only heighten should market support arrive. Settlement showed plenty of ability when fourth at the Curragh on debut recently, so she could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Camelot Alexander and Grateful another pair fancied to be bang there.
