Forecasts

Cuban Heels (1/1), Possessive (5/1), Stardom Glory (5/1), Mussab (7/1), Lake Muritz (11/1), Turnstile (12/1), Ubetawatchout (40/1), Ponte Carlo (80/1)

CUBAN HEELS showed plenty to work on in what should turn out to be an above-average Ascot novice 2 weeks ago and with improvement very much on the cards, he looks the one to beat. Lake Muritz will attempt to put her experience to good use trying 6f for the first time, with Possessive perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
