Forecasts

Prairie Queen (9/4), Regal Cavalier (3/1), Prized Jet (7/2), Celtic Queen (7/1), Monsun Climate (10/1), The Padster (12/1), Modern Style (25/1), Kates Choice (28/1), Senor Diaz (28/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to CELTIC QUEEN, who attracted support ahead of her improved handicap debut third at Hereford and a subsequent 3 lb drop in the weights looks rather generous. Monsun Climate may also take a step forward now pitched into a handicap and is next on the list ahead of Prized Jet, who hasn't shown much for this yard but has slipped to a dangerous mark. Prairie Queen also enters calculations.

  1. CELTIC QUEEN
  2. MONSUN CLIMATE (IRE)
  3. THE PADSTER (FR)
