Forecasts

American Sonja (5/2), Village Voice (5/2), Sounds Of Heaven (7/2), Empress Of Beauty (15/2), Kerkiyra (17/2), Pink Carnation (9/1), Maxux (10/1), Starry Heavens (11/1), Lady Lunette (12/1), Time To Boogie (33/1), Flame Of Eire (50/1), Joupe (100/1)

An open Group 3 contest in which it could pay to give another chance to SOUNDS OF HEAVEN who wasn't at her best when sixth in Deauville's Prix Rothschild last time but holds leading claims on her Coronation Stakes third at the Royal meeting. Empress of Beauty has better days ahead of her and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Village Voice and Lady Lunette.
