Forecasts

Space Blues (6/5), Angel's Hideaway (11/4), Urban Icon (7/2), Happy Power (6/1), Marie's Diamond (14/1), Sunday Star (20/1), Vintage Brut (33/1), Miss Celestial (33/1)

ANGEL'S HIDEAWAY and Urban Icon both bring Classic form into this and preference is for the former after her fine effort in the 1,000 Guineas. The drop in class is an obvious positive and the form has already been boosted by the winner going on to land the Irish 1,000 Guineas on Sunday. Urban Icon isn't dismissed lightly and the drop in trip could suit him. It looks significant that Silvestre De Sousa chooses to ride Happy Power over Vintage Brut who is forced to carry a penalty; the former should be able to make his presence felt back against his own age group.
