Forecasts

Kristal Klear (6/5), Souffionne (13/2), Nights Over Egypt (7/1), No Saint (10/1), Dumfries (11/1), Buttercross Flyer (14/1), Top Button (14/1), Darbucks (18/1), Dynamite Katie (22/1), Galel (25/1), Candy Warhol (25/1), El Montejean (150/1)

KRISTAL KLEAR found only one too good at Haydock last time out and with that form having been really well advertised since she gets the vote. Recent course scorer Nights Over Egypt appeals as the one to give Stella Barclay's filly most to do ahead of Buttercross Flyer and Top Button.
