Forecasts

Studious (1/1), Penelope Valentine (6/1), Sweet Cicely (6/1), Herkeios (13/2), Bantz (7/1), Cuban Lynx (12/1), Almasi (28/1), Good Reward (100/1)

This can go the way of STUDIOUS who created a good impression when going in at Wolverhampton after a gelding operation and can make light of a 6 lb rise. Sweet Cicely appeals as the one to chase him home on the back of his excellent Wolverhampton second, with Cuban Lynx and Penelope Valentine also in the mix.
