Forecasts

Al Saariyah (6/4), Jacinth (9/4), Impressions Dream (7/1), Alcohol Free (17/2), Neptune's Wonder (10/1), First Verse (14/1), Urban Violet (28/1), Mishal Star (40/1), Dream Date Diva (66/1), Hazmat (100/1)

AL SAARIYAH came on plenty for her debut when runner-up at Haydock despite still not looking the finished article. She sets the standard so should make a bold bid. Jacinth showed a fair bit to work on first-time up at Newbury and is an obvious threat, while Impressions Dream and First Verse are likely looking newcomers.
