Forecasts

Tough Talk (13/8), Quar Shamar (13/8), Acotango (7/2), Stellium (8/1), Teagarden Jazz (20/1), Tamazu (22/1), Cleopatra's Needle (50/1)

Not an easy race to assess with confidence but QUAR SHAMAR is the pick on these terms and will find this a lot easier than the Irish Cambridgeshire a fortnight ago. Acotango is feared most starting out for a new yard.
