Forecasts

Merrijig (5/2), Bamboo Bay (7/2), Lincoln Rockstar (9/2), Assembled (5/1), Haven Lady (9/1), Desert Quest (12/1), Jamih (12/1), Lady Bracken (25/1), Coeur De Coeurs (66/1), Alanine (100/1)

MERRIJIG has had the form of his latest Carlisle near miss boosted and ought to make a bold bid in this finale. Lincoln Rockstar might pull out a bit more for this trip and is second choice ahead of fellow 3-y-o filly Lady Bracken, who has yet to show much but has fewer convictions than the majority of these and her leading stable is in good form.
