Forecasts

Ambre Des Marais (7/4), Quiz Master (4/1), Matts Legacy (11/2), Just Spot (10/1), Kristal Hart (10/1), Blue Bullet (14/1), Windspiel (14/1), Peppay Le Pugh (16/1), Camron De Chaillac (20/1), Brean Golf Birdie (20/1), Summer Getaway (20/1)

Verdict

Top-weight Ambre Des Marais races off a career-high mark and may find the ground too soft, but this is not the strongest of contests and, given her profile, she cannot be ruled out lightly. That said, it would be a surprise if something were not better handicapped and the one who fits the bill is KRISTAL HART, who had no chance against a well-handicapped horse last time and can run off the same mark. Quiz Master represents a top stable and is feared despite going up in the weights without winning.
  1. Kristal Hart
  2. Quiz Master
