Forecasts

Royal Equerry (5/2), Jakarta (3/1), Jewel Of London (9/2), Raveena (11/1), Nightbird (11/1), Celandine (12/1), Ghost Run (18/1), Penelope Valentine (20/1), Kokabah (22/1), Countess Ciara (25/1), Alerta Maxima (33/1), Stage Effect (33/1), Havana Dance (40/1)

Experience often counts for plenty here so JAKARTA and Royal Equerry could be the pair to focus on having both shown plenty to work on in decent events at Newmarket and Salisbury respectively, the former shading the vote. The Hannon stable has won this with some good fillies over the years, including with multiple Group 1 winner Sky Lantern, so the costly Jewel of London looks the pick of the newcomers.
