Forecasts

Casablanca Mix (4/9), Atlanta Ablaze (10/3), Listen Dear (11/2), Holly Flight (40/1)

Verdict

Casablanca Mix is likely to prove a popular pick here and if she's at her very best, she will likely take some beating but slight preference is for ATLANTA ABLAZE with race fitness on her side. The mare was impressive at Market Rasen last time out and there's a chance she will come on for that run. Irish Raider Listen Dear ought to get the better of Holly Flight in the battle for third.
  1. Atlanta Ablaze
  2. Casablanca Mix
  3. Listen Dear
