Forecasts

Matilda With Me (5/1), Drakensberg (11/2), Bella Coaster (13/2), Rockview Roman (13/2), Nudge The Judge (15/2), Miss Cunning (8/1), Munfallet (10/1), Rips Dream (10/1), Crystal Pool (11/1), Wild Shot (12/1), Dinamine (12/1), Estepona Sun (16/1), Fryerns (20/1), Freepark (33/1), Benz (50/1), Sweet November (50/1), Speedy Pix (100/1)

The vote goes to CRYSTAL POOL, who shaped as though her turn may again be near when third over a mile here recently and this step back up in trip should help. Matilda With Me, on the other hand, is dropping back from 1½m and she is feared on the back of solid efforts the last twice, while Nudge The Judge should be in the mix if responding well to cheekpieces and Rockview Roman is also of interest.
