Forecasts

Continuous (4/7), Trustyourinstinct (9/2), Caught U Looking (9/2), Tarawa (6/1), Crypto Force (18/1), Bright Stripes (33/1), Villanova Queen (50/1)

Verdict

CONTINUOUS is much the best of these and, although he underperformed in the Hardwicke on reappearance, he should have enough to capitalise on this drop in grade. Trustyourinstinct is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms and Tarawa could be a player if she gets a soft lead.

  1. CONTINUOUS (JPN)
  2. TRUSTYOURINSTINCT (IRE)
  3. TARAWA (IRE)
