Forecasts

Questionare (6/4), Wanaasah (3/1), Nathanielhawthorne (7/2), Shaleela's Dream (7/1), So Hi Cardi (14/1), Kiowa (33/1), Bacon's Rebellion (33/1), Atlantic City (33/1), Redemptress (33/1), Tsarmina (40/1), Necoleta (100/1), Shamrad (100/1)

John Gosden saddled the taking first-time out scorer Severnaya at Newcastle on Friday evening, and whilst there's no suggestion that the tongue-tied QUESTIONARE will necessarily have her natural ability, he's obviously the likeliest winner of this race based upon trainer reputation and AW strike-rate alone. Others worthy of consideration include the fellow debutante So Hi Cardi (Roger Charlton) and the more experienced stable-switcher Wanaasah (David Loughnane), whilst one worth keeping an eye upon for further down the line is Tsarmina (David Evans).
