Forecasts

Fancy Blue (9/4), Peaceful (11/4), Champers Elysees (9/2), Albigna (9/1), Know It All (10/1), Valeria Messalina (11/1), So Wonderful (25/1), New York Girl (40/1), Wilds Dreams (40/1), Love Locket (66/1), Lady Wannabe (150/1)

Verdict

The big question is whether FANCY BLUE can replicate the level of form she has shown over 1¼m at 1m. The trip does look a disadvantage but she may be good enough to overcome it, arriving on a roll having won Group 1s on her last 2 starts. Old-rival Peaceful is the obvious threat, while Johnny Murtagh's fillies Champers Elysees and Know It All should give a good account

  1. FANCY BLUE (IRE)
