Forecasts

Nabbeyl (9/4), Sucellus (11/4), Capla Crusader (3/1), Water's Edge (8/1), Elegant Love (10/1), Into The Zone (11/1), Grape Shot (22/1), Shawaaheq (40/1), Mr Zoom Zoom (40/1), Junior Rip (50/1), Sittin Handy (200/1)

Verdict

Not the strongest contest and this is likely to go to a newcomer. Elegant Love is battle hardened and will run her race but SUCELLUS and Grape Shot both hold strong paper claims and could be too strong. Preference is for John Gosden's colt who comes from a very good family and can win first time up.
  1. Sucellus
  2. Grape Shot
  3. Elegant Love
