Forecasts

Noble Intention (3/1), Jet Streaming (4/1), Nutcracker Suite (4/1), Cleona (5/1), Cloudy Miss (8/1), Cascar Cavcha (12/1), Purdey (14/1), Elzaa (20/1), Jamington (28/1)

Verdict

Not a big field and in truth plenty of these have questions hanging over them. Nutcracker Suite represents Ballydoyle but has not looked great in anything she's done so far, ensuring the added blinkers here will need to work the oracle. Noble Intention won a maiden over the trip on the AW and has shaped well enough in two turf starts over further this season to suggest he might go well back over a mile but the solid option might be JET SETTING. The Born To Sea filly has showed up well in all three maidens and can land a weak handicap at the first attempt.
  1. Jet Streaming
  2. Noble Intention
  3. Nutcracker Suite
