Forecasts

Three Little Birds (5/4), Qaaraat (13/2), Look Surprised (7/1), Kodiac Express (7/1), Hard Solution (10/1), Awsaaf (12/1), Miss Gargar (14/1), Glamorous Rocket (16/1), Toni's A Star (20/1), Autumn Splendour (28/1), Celerity (80/1)

THREE LITTLE BIRDS showed good form when placed last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up on that occasion. The four-year-old is well drawn here and she can see of her rivals with Kodiac Express capable of claiming second having run well when attempting to make all last time. Third place can go the way of Qaaraat who was a winner on his most recent start.
