Forecasts

Licit (13/8), Beat The Heat (9/2), Country'n'western (5/1), Elhafei (7/1), Well Funded (10/1), Born Leader (12/1), Militry Decoration (12/1), All My Love (14/1), Harmonise (14/1), Monsaraz (16/1), Navajo Star (40/1)

WELL FUNDED has to cast aside a rare below-par effort at York 3 weeks ago, but her overall record suggests she's likely to do so and she's clearly well treated having dipped below her last winning mark. Beat The Heat is an unexposed 3-y-o who tasted success last time so he's feared most.
