Forecasts

Al Dawodiya (6/4), Never Dark (9/4), Sound Mixer (5/1), Ayr Harbour (5/1), Brunel Charm (25/1), Sena (25/1), Lord P (25/1), Sacred Legacy (33/1), Mount Mogan (66/1), Saffron Lane (66/1), Surrey Flame (66/1), Lipslikecherries (66/1)

AL DAWODIYA sets the standard on form and she can get off the mark at the third time of asking by taking this novice event. The selection performed well when runner-up on her latest outing and she can get the better of Sound Mixer who finished a good fourth on her most recent start while third place can go to Ayr Harbour who is making his debut for a new stable.
