Forecasts

Firewalker (1/4), Baker Blue (10/3), Mr Juggles (8/1), Petes Diamond (50/1), City Of Dreams (50/1), Curated (50/1), Lamlash Bay (80/1), Ganthorpe (100/1)

BAKER BLUE possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to make a winning start for Dylan Cunha having signed off for Jessica Harrington with a very good Down Royal second. Debut C&D fourth Mr Juggles looks to have better days ahead of him and rates the chief threat ahead of Kingman newcomer Firewalker.
