Forecasts

Alba Rose (11/8), Turandot (3/1), Prison Break (5/1), Invincibly (6/1), Empirestateofmind (9/1), Blu Boy (16/1), Rainbow's Gift (22/1), Hawk In The Wind (50/1), Hoscar Moss (66/1), Tees Spirit (80/1), Favourite Niece (150/1)

ALBA ROSE made a bright start when second at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and can put that experience to good use and get off the mark with improvement expected. There are a clutch of interesting newcomers from the top northern stables and the betting should be interesting, Turandot and Invincibly a couple in particular who make some appeal.
