Forecasts

Saint Brandon (5/2), Unique Journey (3/1), Iceford (9/2), Nyman (5/1), Just Before (8/1), Shiota (8/1), Leaping Star (9/1), Green Icon (10/1), Vega's Muse (10/1), Rion Rubette (11/1), Navajo Point (12/1), Grand Dante (16/1), Bluebelardo (25/1), Hugo's Girl (25/1), Widely Acclaimed (40/1), School Of Athens (40/1)

UNIQUE JOURNEY signalled he is ready to open his account when a very good recent Naas third so looks the way to go here. Vega's Muse appeals as a likely improver on her handicap bow so rates the main danger, although Saint Brandon and School of Athens need considering too.
