Forecasts

Atlantic Heart (9/2), Accrington Stanley (11/2), Iskaheen (6/1), Sly Madam (13/2), Adatorio (7/1), Damascus Finish (15/2), Florence Street (10/1), Ascraeus (12/1), Life's A Beach (14/1), Bounty Pursuit (16/1), Silverdale (16/1), Danny Bleu (25/1), Captain Sedgwick (28/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for several of these but SLY MADAM arrives at the top of her game so is taken to garner a third success of 2022 on the back of her excellent clear Brighton second. Damascus Finish is weighted to have a big say if the refitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect while both Adatorio and Bounty Pursuit need shortlisting too.

  1. SLY MADAM
  2. DAMASCUS FINISH (IRE)
  3. ADATORIO
