Forecasts

Dream Point (1/1), Blackgold Fairy (2/1), Jazz Lady (7/2), Ishigati (6/1), Theoneyouare (20/1), Cache Queen (20/1), Always In Step (33/1), Salty Sugar (33/1), Lady York (40/1), Crest Of A Wave (40/1), High Street Lady (50/1), Havingagoodtime (50/1), Danactini (50/1), Rafiah (66/1), Definite Doyenne (100/1), Across The Road (100/1)

Improving sort DREAM POINT can continue his improvement and education here following up from a promising third of nine at Lingfield in January. Mick Halford's Blackgold Fairy who showed plenty of promise on debut and Jazz Lady can give the selection the most to think about.
