Forecasts

Caviar D'Allen (11/4), Royal Act (3/1), Lillington (7/2), Tikkinthebox (5/1), Nansaroy (6/1), Coudefoudre (16/1), Beni Light (20/1), Kahdian (66/1)

Verdict

Lillington, Nansaroy and Beni Light have questions to answer in first-time headgear, while it is hard ti see Coudefoudre and Kahdian making an impact despite their low weights. Tikkinthebox and Caviar D'Allen have fair claims, but the solid one is ROYAL ACT, who won in first-time cheekpieces last time, wears them again and is only 4lb higher. With the champion jockey on board, he looks the one to beat.
  1. Royal Act
  2. Caviar D'Allen
  3. Tikkinthebox
