Forecasts

Scary Askari (11/4), Artic Chief (6/1), Mercurial Sea (7/1), Annarubyrose (8/1), Yoursimplythebest (8/1), Cozone (10/1), Gangster Granny (11/1), Phildante (11/1), Joya Del Mar (12/1), Bayonetta (12/1), Toor Moon (14/1), Gortmore Lady (14/1), Milesfromthehonk (25/1), Boston Queen (25/1), Jimli's Cave (50/1), Jetstream Jeff (50/1), Game And Glory (66/1), Lady Iseult (66/1)

Verdict

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and ARTIC CHIEF is taken to build on a very good recent C&D third and gain a breakthrough success off just a 2 lb higher mark here. Bayonetta is feared most on the back of a good Perth fourth after an absence, while Gangster Granny and Annarubyrose also need considering.

  1. ARTIC CHIEF (IRE)
  2. BAYONETTA (IRE)
  3. GANGSTER GRANNY (IRE)
