Forecasts

Miss O Connor (9/4), Billesdon Brook (9/4), Agincourt (11/4), Stylistique (8/1), Shimmering (17/2), Look Around (11/1), Love And Thunder (11/1), Lady Bowthorpe (12/1), Iconic Choice (22/1), Farzeen (25/1), Viva Gloria (80/1)

Although yet to win in 2020 BILLESDON BROOK boasts first-class credentials here. The dual Group 1 winner was just touched off by Nazeef latest in the Falmouth and it's hard to oppose her on that form. The obvious danger is unbeaten Miss O Connor who won all four starts last term culminating in a win at this level in France. The fact all her form came on very testing ground though is a worry. Although behind the selection latest Agincourt is also on the shortlist.
