Forecasts

Royal Duchess (7/2), Lady In Question (4/1), Chaplin Bay (9/2), Chipping (11/2), Inglorious (8/1), Dark Crystal (8/1), Justice Pleasing (8/1), Flinty Fell (10/1), Lotara (18/1), Coral Princess (20/1)

Verdict

Dark Crystal and Royal Duchess are a couple of C&D specialist who are difficult to ignore. The latter will be a threat if she can break on terms. She and a few others are nicely weighted against Dark Crystal on recent form. Inglorious is particularly well in and his stable are enjoying a good spell. Justice Pleasing and Lady In Question need to bounce back from poor efforts last time and Chipping has underperformed since a good second here a couple of months ago. CHAPLIN BAY represents Ruth Carr's in form team and he gets a welcome drop in class and some leniency from the handicapper. The form of his C&D second in June puts him in the mix and he makes solid each-way appeal at the forecast odds.
  1. Chaplin Bay
  2. Inglorious
  3. Dark Crystal
