Forecasts

Cantora (11/4), Nobody Told Me (10/3), Sovereign Spirit (4/1), Demilion (5/1), Struth (7/1), Forceful Speed (7/1), Double Oban (12/1), Dragonball Prince (20/1), Burglar's Dream (20/1)

The vote goes to the filly CANTORA, who had any amount in hand when scoring at Beverley and she is appealing with Ryan Moore doing the steering here, for all that an 11 lb rise in the weights asks a question. The hat-trick seeking Sovereign Spirit will be a danger to all provided he is able to continue the good work back on turf, while Demilion and Nobody Told Me are others to consider, along with likely improver Burglar's Dream.
