Race Overview
A short margin winner of a newcomer's race at the end of March over the course & distance, FORESEEN (4) is the firm choice to follow up in this Class 2 contest. VEGAS (5) is back on turf after a disappointing comeback run and could improve. RIBBLE VIBE (3) beat a nice horse on debut at Deauville last December and should not be overlooked. Runner-up in a Listed Race in her last start of 2023, EMPLOY (8) is another one to keep on the short list.
