Forecasts

Faiyum (30/100), Iowa City (9/2), De Novo (7/1), Mveve (50/1)

All eyes will be on FAIYUM, who is bred to be useful (at the very least) and she looked good when making a winning start to her career at Naas in March. That form is working out well (the second, third and fifth have all won since, while the fourth went close next time out) and the Frankel filly can follow-up here, before going on to bigger and better things. De Novo is open to improvement and is taken to claim second place ahead of French import Iowa City and stablemate Mveve.
