Forecasts

Kilteel (16/5), Uncle Sam (7/2), Monticristo Boy (9/2), Layaali (9/2), A Fine Claret (6/1), Elladora Black (9/1), Stat Goddess (25/1), Itsallaboutus (50/1), Aria's Dream (66/1), Sun Petal (80/1)

MONTICRISTO BOY has run well to be runner-up in both AW nurseries and may be able to open his account now. Last month's course scorer Kilteel is respected back on AW, while Layaali was a good third in a similar race on her previous Newcastle visit.
