Forecasts

Washington Heights (7/2), No Half Measures (4/1), Beautiful Diamond (9/2), Tropical Storm (5/1), Rumstar (7/1), Clarendon House (12/1), Twilight Calls (14/1), She's Quality (20/1), Democracy Dilemma (20/1), Seven Questions (28/1), Pepsi Cat (50/1)

Verdict

This has a very open look to it, but such was the progress of NO HALF MEASURES last season that she ended the campaign shaping very well in the Abbaye at Longchamp, so she can pick up where she left off. Washington Heights won the Abernant here a year ago and is equally effective over 5f so she's on the shortlist, while Tropical Storm could go on again as a 3-y-o and gets a handy age allowance.

  1. NO HALF MEASURES
  2. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS
  3. TROPICAL STORM
