Forecasts

Perfect Thunder (7/4), Dark Vega (7/2), Torn (6/1), Eriskay (8/1), Independent Expert (12/1), Shanghai Dragon (14/1), Tawny Coster (16/1), Queen's Pardon (16/1), Ecoutez (16/1), Approach To Life (18/1), Beautiful Sunshine (20/1), Arch Enemy (80/1), Three Macks (80/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these are open to progress but none more so than PERFECT THUNDER, who beat an easy next-time-winner (and 17 others) in a C&D maiden last month. Dark Vega is totally unexposed on this her second start, with Queen's Pardon likely to give it another good go.

  1. PERFECT THUNDER
  2. DARK VEGA (IRE)
  3. QUEEN'S PARDON
