Forecasts

Frenetic (10/11), Chief Little Hawk (9/4), Mooneista (11/1), Eastern Voice (11/1), Hyde Park Barracks (14/1), Blue Cabochon (18/1), Twilight Heir (25/1)

Verdict

There was a lot to like about CHIEF LITTLE HAWK's debut and he had excuses when drawn on the wrong side at Royal Ascot latest. Frenetic is the obvious danger after her taking her debut win at Navan while Eastern Voice isn't discounted if he handles the drop back to 5f.
  1. Chief Little Hawk
  2. Frenetic
  3. Eastern Voice
