Forecasts

Exceptional (9/4), Burmese Waltz (9/2), Shades Of Blue (9/2), Magical Journey (6/1), Last Empire (8/1), Jouska (17/2), Mountain Brave (12/1), Stormy Girl (22/1), Caspian Queen (22/1), Lambeth Walk (22/1), Natalie's Joy (33/1), Crispina (40/1), Lady Of Aran (50/1)

Verdict

Seven of the last 10 runnings of this have gone to 4-y-os and SHADES OF BLUE, who found just one too good 12 months ago, is taken to enhance that statistic. She shaped as though back in top form in a York Group 3 last time and will hopefully respond well to the new headgear. Magical Journey looks the pick of the Classic generation and is feared most ahead of Exceptional and Burmese Waltz.

  1. SHADES OF BLUE (IRE)
  2. MAGICAL JOURNEY (IRE)
  3. EXCEPTIONAL
