Forecasts

Queen Of Bermuda (4/6), Key To Power (11/2), Red Balloons (6/1), Que Amoro (7/1), My Excelsa (12/1), Antico Lady (25/1), Samantha James (33/1), Newgate Angel (50/1), Jill Rose (50/1)

QUEEN OF BERMUDA one of two in this contest with experience is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking for trainer William Haggas. The selection ran well in a decent looking maiden at Ascot recently and she can get the better of the debutant Key To Power who is bred to be a sprinter and hails from a leading stable. My Excelsa, fourth on debut at Kempton can finish one place better on turf debut.
