Forecasts

Yucatan (2/1), Clear Skies (5/2), Stellar Mass (9/2), Allegio (9/2), Reckless Gold (11/1), Tennessee Wildcat (20/1)

Verdict

CLEAR SKIES may be the one to side with after a promising run at Royal Ascot last time and she gets her optimum conditions here on fast ground over 1m2f. Tennessee Wildcat will find this marginally easier than some of his recent assignments while Yucatan may improve for the fitting of first-time headgear.
