Forecasts

Speculateur (1/1), Too Bossy For Us (5/4), Mino Des Mottes (4/1), Forceonmyown (14/1), Ballet Queen (40/1), Thisain'tthat (50/1), Old Saxony (50/1), Themorethemerrier (80/1), The Fly Window (80/1), Embrace The Day (100/1), Royal Belief (150/1), Live Your Dreams (200/1), Your Out Of Line (200/1), Thewaybackhome (250/1), Ballinaboola Gold (300/1)

Verdict

A useful stayer on the Flat, TOO BOSSY FOR US wasn't disgraced in Grade 1s at two of the big spring festivals last season and he looks the way to go with his sights now significantly lowered. Speculateur chased home one of the selection's stablemates on debut in this sphere at Clonmel and, open to improvement, he is greatly respected. Mino Des Mottes and Forceonmyown, representing the yard's responsible for Too Bossy For Us and Speculateur, can do battle for minor honours.
