Forecasts

Zeyaadah (4/7), Wise Judgement (11/2), Celtic Empress (15/2), Strangerontheshore (11/1), Holy Endeavour (16/1), Horsefly (16/1), Cougar Annie (22/1), Wildcitydiva (22/1), Western Beat (50/1), Flora's Aura (250/1)

Some well-bred newcomers on show here but ZEYAADAH is taken to follow up 3 weeks on from her impressive winning debut at Chelmsford. She should have learnt plenty from that initial effort and, open to significant improvement, can make light work of her penalty. Wise Judgement rates as best of the debutantes on paper, ahead of Celtic Empress and Cougar Annie.
