Forecasts

Duchess (2/1), Yquem (9/4), Busby (4/1), Tupero (9/2), Angelardo (13/2), Violeta (17/2), Nymphaea (9/1), I Am Simba (12/1), Muhib (16/1)

DUCHESS arrives in excellent heart, finishing 5 lengths clear of the rest when a neck-second at Southwell 10 days ago, so she rates the percentage call. Busby was better than the result last time so needs considering, while a market move for Irish raider Yquem would look significant.
