Forecasts

Graceful Legend (15/8), Cajun Fiddle (2/1), Beyond Measure (11/4), Mo Chailin (6/1)

Verdict

A disappointing turnout numerically, and this looks best left to the recent game C&D winner GRACEFUL LEGEND who has a golden opportunity to follow up. Her riders seven pound claim means that she effectively races from a three pound lower mark here, and she most likely has Cajun Fiddle to beat, with the suspicion being that Alan King's mare has been somewhat harshly handicapped on the basis of her seven length second to La Bague Au Roi on her hurdles debut. 1. Graceful Legend 2. Cajun Fiddle 3. Mo Chailin
