Forecasts

Exceptional (9/4), Burmese Waltz (9/2), Shades Of Blue (9/2), Magical Journey (6/1), Last Empire (8/1), Jouska (17/2), Mountain Brave (12/1), Stormy Girl (22/1), Caspian Queen (22/1), Lambeth Walk (22/1), Natalie's Joy (33/1), Crispina (40/1), Lady Of Aran (50/1)

Seven of the last 10 runnings of this have gone to 4-y-os and SHADES OF BLUE, who found just one too good 12 months ago, is taken to enhance that statistic. She shaped as though back in top form in a York Group 3 last time and will hopefully respond well to the new headgear. Magical Journey looks the pick of the Classic generation and is feared most ahead of Exceptional and Burmese Waltz.
