Forecasts

Lucid Dreamer (15/8), Final Thought (5/2), Indigo Girl (10/3), Coupe De Champagne (8/1), Mystery Show (17/2), Ness Ta Rah (150/1)

LUCID DREAMER looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Kempton earlier this month, always holding on despite the runner-up closing her down late on. She's open to further progress and can maintain her unbeaten record. Indigo Girl looks a newcomer to note and is taken to chase the selection home.
