Forecasts
Eziyra (9/4), Stellar Mass (9/4), Yucatan (11/4), The King (7/2)
Stellar Mass ought to reverse Curragh form with Yucatan strictly on the book, and he will arguably be better off now returned this trip, having won this corresponding contest in 2016. He is respected, but EZIYRA has even better form credentials, having won the Enterprise Stakes over C&D when last seen, and she will take the beating if returning in the same form.
