Forecasts

Glamorous Approach (9/4), Bengala (4/1), Sea Swift (4/1), Key To My Heart (11/2), Butterflies (9/1), Flying Fairies (14/1), Red Stars (16/1), Santa Monica (20/1), Pavlenko (20/1), Like A Star (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty in this line-up possess the potential to make their mark at this level but perhaps GLAMOROUS APPROACH is the one that has demonstrated the most willingness to do it already. A couple of excellent wins at the Curragh have suggested better days are ahead and, with the stable in form, she has strong claims of a first Group-race success. Ballydoyle accounts for four of the ten-runner line-up, seeking to emulate last year's winner Pretty Perfect. Key To My Heart comes out best on ratings from the quartet and is respected but Pavlenko could take a leading hand if able to master the break a bit better than has been the case. Bengala is likely to be in the mix (though connections of the selection ought to know exactly where they stand with her) while the shortlist is completed by Sea Swift, who ran well in Listed class on her reappearance.
  1. Glamorous Approach
  2. Sea Swift
  3. Pavlenko
