Forecasts

Perfect Illusion (11/10), Technological (2/1), River Glades (9/2), Mary Elise (10/1), Lucky Lover Boy (33/1), No Equalisers (100/1)

Both Mary Elise and Technological tackle this longer trip for the first time, whilst River Glades will surely have drawn plenty from his recent Wolverhampton debut, but it's virtually impossible to oppose the striking 12L C&D debut scorer PERFECT ILLUSION. That success might well have come in a weaker race than today's but there was no optical illusion as to his raw untapped potential, so this Derby entrant by Nathaniel should make it 2 from 2 with further improvement considered highly likely.
