Forecasts

Farnham (13/8), Millicent Fawcett (5/1), Roong Roong (7/1), Alnaseem (15/2), Marlyn (14/1), Misty (16/1), Be Together (16/1), Mayfair Pompette (20/1), Quick (25/1), Aperitif (25/1), Hotsy Totsy (33/1), Zappiness (33/1), Daryana (33/1), Maggi Rockstar (40/1), Impressionable (50/1), Aide Memoire (50/1), Mooteram (66/1), Forever Mine (66/1), La Voix Magique (100/1), Society Sweetheart (150/1)

Roong Roong's purchase price is eyecatching to say the least and any market support for her would be significant, but it may be worth taking a chance with BE TOGETHER, who hails from a stable in good form and has a positive jockey booking. In a race in which plenty of guesswork is involved, it would be no surprise to see Alnaseem, Farnham, Marlyn and Millicent Fawcett get involved.
