Forecasts

Caius Chorister (15/8), Luisa Casati (3/1), Voodoo Queen (9/2), Sea Flawless (5/1), One Evening (17/2), Ching Shih (10/1), Thanks Monica (11/1), Madame Ambassador (20/1), Pennymoor (20/1), Icykel (22/1), Three Priests (33/1)

Verdict

A few of these still have the potential for further improvement but CAIUS CHORISTER sets a good standard and David Menuisier's very useful and likeable filly can gain a deserved first success of the season. Luisa Casati is feared most on the back of her Goodwood success in similar company, with Voodoo Queen and Icykel appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. CAIUS CHORISTER (FR)
  2. LUISA CASATI (IRE)
  3. VOODOO QUEEN
