Forecasts

Verdict

Plenty with chances but AFFABLE arrives at the top of her game and can register a third victory of the summer having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third in her hat-trick bid at Fairyhouse last week. Brave Display is another in great nick and he can boast a C&D success too so is next on the list, with the thriving Amazing Emma a serious contender too.

  1. AFFABLE
  2. BRAVE DISPLAY (IRE)
  3. AMAZING EMMA (IRE)
