Forecasts

Gilded Heaven (9/4), Playfull Spirit (7/2), Flirtare (8/1), Silca Mistress (12/1), Eesha Beauty (12/1), Railport Dolly (14/1), Mrs Benson (14/1), Lady Marigold (20/1), Faay (20/1), Narodowa (25/1), Isabella Mayson (25/1), Javelin (28/1), Renny's Lady (33/1), Call Dawn (33/1), Nalaini (33/1), Vicky Cristina (40/1), Asheena (50/1)

PLAYFULL SPIRIT ran well on handicap debut last time out and she register her first win in this competitive fillies handicap. The selection represents a yard in good form at present (14/50) and she can get the better of Gilded Heaven who can be expected to improve now switched to handicaps. Eesha Beauty made a pleasing seasonal debut over 7f in March and she can finish third in this.
