Forecasts

Slingsby (5/2), Foresight (3/1), Among Angels (6/1), Tarboosh (6/1), Pretty Bubbles (7/1), Elysian Flyer (10/1), Aprovado (12/1), Silhuette (50/1)

Verdict

Pretty Bubbles is probably the horse to beat on all known form, but a nagging doubt persists as to her effectiveness on Tapeta. Slingsby is up in grade, but is always to be feared if breaking prominently, but with a few stable newcomers in this race it's difficult to make a confident selection. Therefore, a chance is taken on FORESIGHT on his debut for the in-form Kevin Ryan, who presumably saw something that he liked about this horse when he beat Dance Alone at Hamilton in July 2016 in order to splash out £23,000 to bring in this four-year-old Dream Ahead gelding from David Simcock. 1. Foresight 2. Slingsby 3. Pretty Bubbles
