Forecasts

Monsoon Moon (2/5), Sayyida (7/2), Haija (11/1), Naflah (16/1), Mizaaj (25/1)

A fascinating clash in prospect in which Charlie Appleby's newcomer SAYYIDA, a Dubawi half-sister to Derby winner Masar no less, is taken to edge out promising Ascot third Monsoon Moon from the powerful John Gosden yard. The two Fillies' Mile entrants look to have this between them with another debutante Haija, also trained by John Gosden, appealing as the pick of the remainder.
