Forecasts
Alwaysandforever (7/2), Worth Waiting (4/1), Highgarden (5/1), Queen Of Connaught (11/2), Ejtyah (6/1), Melodic Motion (13/2), Dramatic Queen (10/1)
Any of these could be capable of taking the prize. Alwaysandforever was just collared in this grade at Pontefract recently and should go well again for last year's winning trainer while Melodic Motion is likely to live her York reappearance well behind and was Group 2-placed last season. Ejtyah was poor in the Oaks but should bounce back while C&D winner Queen Of Connaught faces a tougher exam here. WORTH WAITING is a little underestimated in the early betting and should improve upped in distance. The daughter of Bated Breath could easily be capable of winning in this grade.
