Forecasts

Chateau La Fleur (9/4), Erin (3/1), Lady Nathaniel (10/3), Seize Your Star (5/1), Attack At Dawn (8/1), Maricruz (25/1), Vienna Circle (50/1), Rooney O'mara (66/1), Aprils Joy (80/1)

Verdict

Chateau La Fleur possibly holds the key to this - if she's as good as her price tag makes her out to be, then she's surely much better than her poor debut effort and she could be simply too good for these. But having not been seen since that debut in March, there may be issues, and a chance is taken on SEIZE YOUR STAR, who has shown enough in a couple of starts to think she's up to winning one. Another step forward and she should be thereabouts. Lady Nathaniel has the form in the book but is open to attack from anything progressive. Erin and Attack At Dawn are worth a second look.
