Forecasts

Staunton (9/2), Late Shipment (5/1), That's Gonna Sting (5/1), Rainbow Haze (10/1), Violets Girl (11/1), Celtic Tune (12/1), Flemi Two Toes (12/1), Young Lou (12/1), Galros Lady (16/1), Act Four (16/1), Veauce De Sivola (16/1), Storm Alert (20/1), Raduis Bleu (66/1), Tisfreetdream (66/1)

Verdict

YOUNG LOU showed a liking for this track last month when a close-up third over the trip and can possibly get her head in front now in a competitive opener. That's Gonna Sting scored nicely at Ludlow in November and might just have found Taunton too soon on the back of that run. Flemi Two Toes was right back in the groove at Southwell and would be a player if in similar mood here while Staunton has been knocking on the door and could get in soon. 1. Young Lou 2. That's Gonna Sting 3. Flemi Two Toes
