Forecasts

Drivers Seat (6/5), Lady O (13/8), Medici Venus (15/8), Sir Jeremy (5/1), The Marty Party (10/1), Shiota (20/1), No Return (22/1)

SIR JEREMY took a big step forward when running out a wide-margin winner of a Down Royal nursery 18 days ago and looks capable of following up with further progress on the cards. Drivers Seat is another progressing nicely, with Lady O and Medici Venus others warranting plenty of respect.
