Forecasts

Jaega (1/1), Bye Bye Baby (11/4), Panstarr (13/2), I'm So Fancy (8/1), Clear Skies (10/1), Easter Lily (20/1)

Verdict

Bye Bye Baby was backed on reappearance but seemed in need of the run, fading from the front in a most un-Ballydoyle manner. She should be able to leave that running well behind. Stablemate Clear Skies should do better dropped in trip but needs a career-best to land this. I'm So Fancy repeatedly runs well in decent company without winning, and might settle for something similar now while Panstarr is a former C&D winner and ran a stormer at Naas on reappearance in Group 3. JAEGA is very exciting based on her debut and could be anything, the choice to send her into this company on second start is heeded.
  1. Jaega
  2. Bye Bye Baby
  3. Panstarr
