Forecasts

Chally Chute (5/2), Helvic Dream (7/2), Hans Andersen (5/1), Feathertop (11/2), Time To Tell (8/1), Sunchart (9/1), Vischio (16/1), Prairie Dancer (25/1), Queen Of Seduction (25/1), Erato (33/1), High Chieftess (50/1)

Verdict

HANS ANDERSEN has been absent since finishing down the field in the French 2000 Guineas but his profile is a largely positive one and, interestingly upped markedly in trip back from 6 months off, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Helvic Dream and Sunchart head up the dangers, ahead of Chally Chute.
