Forecasts

Sleepy Head (7/2), Wild Shot (7/2), Maid In Manhattan (5/1), Yamato (11/2), Dayereh (9/1), Coach Bombay (10/1), Foza (12/1), Baratheon (14/1), Alhajjaj (16/1), Hes Our Music (16/1), English Pale (16/1), U S Navy Seal (33/1), Qasser (50/1), The Perch (66/1)

The Pat Flynn-trained SLEEPY HEAD can get a decent pull in to the contest from the likes of He's Our Music and The Perch, before the six-year-old mare adds to her C&D win over 12 months ago. Wild Shot and Yamato appear to be genuine challengers, while Maid In Manhattan is worthy of a little consideration .
