Forecasts

Mustazeed (15/8), Fairmac (5/2), Cambridgeshire (10/3), Contingency Fee (13/2), Arthur's Realm (8/1), Balearic (8/1), Clarendon Cross (16/1), Atheeb (22/1)

The least exposed and most appealing of these is CAMBRIDGESHIRE, who can be expected to relish this step up in trip judged on her Nottingham handicap debut third. Mustazeed's profile is progressive and he has to be taken seriously, while the consistent Contingency Fee also needs considering. However, Fairmac also looks solid and he is second choice.
