Forecasts

La Isla Bonita (11/4), Anna Medici (7/2), A Sure Welcome (4/1), Stubytuesday (13/2), My Girl Maisie (7/1), Love And Be Loved (8/1), Lovely Acclamation (14/1), Princess Way (14/1), Captain Hawk (18/1), Outfox (22/1), Joys Delight (25/1), Circulate (33/1)

LOVE AND BE LOVED made all when winning at Salisbury last time out and she can follow up under a penalty dropping in trip today. The selection looks likely to be granted an easy lead in this concluding event and she can see off another previous winner Anna Medici who is seeking a hat-trick following two previous victories over this distance. La Isla Bonita, a winner over C&D four days ago is another carrying a penalty today and she can take third.
