Forecasts

California Love (7/2), Beryl The Petal (7/2), Liberatrix (7/2), Fearlessly (5/1), No More Regrets (7/1), Rosamour (15/2), Mandy The One (8/1), Florence Rose (14/1), My Maharani (20/1), Kennocha (25/1)

LIBERATRIX had full view of six rivals on debut at Chelmsford when they turned for home but Mark Johnston's filly picked up pleasingly and went by them all. She's likely to improve for that experience and promises to be at home on turf. Likewise, California Love wasn't far behind her in that run and can build on it here. No More Regrets looks capable of playing a part upped 7f while newcomers Fearlessly and Mandy The One could be decent.
