Forecasts

Elizabeth Jane (2/1), Stromberg (10/3), Layfayette (6/1), Fleur De Chine (15/2), Kortez Bay (10/1), Euphoric (10/1), Sunchart (10/1), Cristal Clere (20/1), Spoken Truth (28/1), Mashhoor (33/1), Royal Entry (80/1)

FLEUR DE CHINE shaped well in the Concorde Stakes at Tipperary and could go one better down in grade. Layfayette is an obvious player and Elizabeth Jane can get involved if back to the form she produced in the Irish Oaks.
