Forecasts

Pretty Baby (10/11), Clon Coulis (5/1), Tivoli (6/1), Oriental Song (6/1), Raven's Lady (10/1), Celebrity (18/1), Classical Times (20/1), Carolinae (20/1), Under The Covers (28/1), Peggy's Angel (33/1), Time To Exceed (40/1), Razzmatazz (50/1), Belledesert (80/1)

RAVEN'S LADY made a pleasing reappearance when winning easily on the AW last month and she can register a first Listed success in this competitive 6f contest. Clon Coulis finished runner-up to the selection at Newmarket last summer and she can finish runner-up ahead of German raider Celebrity who represents last seasons winning stable.
