Forecasts

Stealing Mix (1/2), Azari (9/4), Lure Des Pres (16/1), Air Approach (25/1), Foxy Act (33/1)

Azari has a bit to prove after disappointing on his hurdles debut and Air Approach is very much worth a market check, but preference is for STEALING MIX, who should handle this slight drop in trip on a stiff track like this and can go one better than last time.
