Forecasts

Blue Tempus (5/2), French Haven (7/2), Salaria (4/1), Precious Spartan (4/1), Staffordshire (11/2), Darla's Secret (13/2), Kimeko Glory (18/1), Arie Gordye (18/1), Grizzieblanca (18/1), Wayward Daughter (66/1)

There wasn't much between SALARIA and Precious Spartan at Redcar recently and it's likely they will come to the fore here. The former was having her first run on turf that day and, with the potential for the first-time cheekpieces to help spark a bit more progress, she is taken to uphold that form and emerge on top here. Staffordshire has shown clear signs of ability on the all-weather and he is also shortlisted, along with handicap debutant Blue Tempus.
