Forecasts

Narjes (5/2), Jeanette May (9/2), Lyrical Ballad (5/1), Temujin (7/1), California Lad (17/2), Surrajah (9/1), Brown Eyes Blue (14/1), Up The Aisle (14/1), Pedro De Styles (25/1), Nablawyh (28/1), Al Jawhra (33/1), Nicky Baby (40/1), Sweet Nature (50/1), Rememberthetitans (66/1)

LYRICAL BALLAD was left with plenty to do at Bath last month having been very well backed to build on her previous promise. She can gain a deserved first victory here at the expense of Jeanette May, who wasted no time in getting back to form at Chelmsford, while any market support for stable-switcher Rememberthetitans could prove to be significant.
