Forecasts

Bubbling (11/8), Formal (7/4), Ecstatic (3/1), Duty First (11/2), Serving With Style (11/1), Definitive (16/1), Troia (20/1)

Sir Michael Stoute's FORMAL has looked a fine prospect when impressively landng lesser events at Newbury and Leciester so is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride and retain her unbeaten record. Aidan O'Brien's duo Ecstatic and Bubbling have better days ahead of them too and can chase home the selection in that order.
