Forecasts

Crownthorpe (7/2), Ana Emaraaty (9/2), Trais Fluors (5/1), One More Bottle (13/2), Miss Raincloud (15/2), Space Raider (10/1), Pride Eye (14/1), Marcello Si (14/1), Showmedemoney (18/1), Pallas Lord (20/1), Blue Seeker (20/1), Annalee Lass (22/1), Woodshaw (33/1), Freak Encounter (40/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and TRAIS FLUORS looks the way to go after returning from a lay-off with an encouraging C&D third. Linda Perratt's veteran can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of Crownthorpe and One More Bottle who can chase him home in that order. Ana Emaraaty completes the shortlist.
