Forecasts

Ben Vrackie (11/10), Maid Up (5/4), Cypress Creek (5/1)

As the only confirmed front-runner of the trio Cypress Creek may well get the run of things and has to be respected for his powerful connections. However he got a very easy lead and set a slow tempo in Listed company in Ireland and couldn't take advantage and he may be vulnerable again. Maid Up sets a clear standard on her second here last time and she possesses a smart turn of foot so it would be no surprise to see the only filly come out on top against the colts. However BEN VRACKIE looked a very smart prospect when demolishing a field in novice company on his third start and has leapt straight up to Group company and like most Frankels should relish this extra test.
