Forecasts

Question Of Faith (5/6), Elite Icon (9/4), Wor Lass (4/1), Archie's Advice (6/1), La Bacouetteuse (8/1), New Youmzain (8/1), Schmooze (16/1), Archibelle (20/1)

Most of these come with a question mark against them and the two most likely winners look as though they may come from off the pace. Question Of Faith will need to turn in a career best to win here but hardly faces an improving types apart from ELITE ICON. It took the penny to drop with him last time but he’s only three-years-old and this ground and test of stamina may be what he wants to record another grinding victory. Wor Lass should run well in this grade and enjoy the test of stamina while on his old form New Youmzain would have a chance given this staying test.
