Forecasts

Verdict

A Grade 2 in which it could pay to side with PERSONAL AMBITION, who unlike standard-setter Jango Baie, hails from a stable in rude health at present and is well worth another chance at this level having dominated a Doncaster novice in good style in January. Jango Baie still warrants plenty of respect being a Grade 1 winner, while Brucio is improving in leaps and bounds and needs taking seriously, too.

  1. PERSONAL AMBITION (IRE)
  2. JANGO BAIE (FR)
  3. BRUCIO
