Forecasts

Atalanta Mist (9/4), Saxophonic (9/2), Virtual Hug (5/1), Buck Barrow (11/2), Dream Of Ithaca (6/1), Adrian (14/1), Master Dancer (14/1), Cogital (16/1), Emerald Reine (50/1), Beau Chevalier (150/1)

ATALANTA MIST fared best of those held up when third at Chepstow and she can now be ridden a bit more positively having proved her stamina over this far. Fellow 3-y-o filly Dream of Ithaca took a step forward when off the mark in a classified event at Brighton 2 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Buck Barrow and Saxophonic.
