Forecasts

Kaori (11/10), Si Grass (6/4), Venetian Romance (5/1), Inis Mor (11/2), India Gold (20/1), Pipily (33/1)

The well-bred KAORI showed plenty to work on amidst greenness when fourth in a Newbury novice over this trip 39 days ago. She's expected to build on that here and looks to hold sound claims of making it second time lucky. Newcomer's Si Grass, Inis Mor and Venetian Romance are others worth a look, and rate next best in that order of preference before the benefit of market clues.
