Forecasts

Ms Parfois (2/9), Postbridge (7/2), Royale Champ (50/1), Here Comes Molly (100/1)

Verdict

For all intents and purposes this looks to be between Postbridge and MS PARFOIS. The former is lightly-raced for a six-year-old and got off the mark last time at Plumpton over shorter at the sixth time of asking. A replication of that display could be enough here, but she has to overcome the second-named, who has been running some nice races at a much higher level than this. Having been behind Colin's Sister and Happy Diva in Grade 2 company last time, she looks the potential class act in the field. Here Comes Molly, making her British debut, should be the one to chase them home.
