Forecasts

Crystal Dawn (9/4), Lilandra (9/4), Highly Approved (10/3), Mary Salome (15/2), Royal Highness (9/1), Bay Of Skaill (10/1), Distant Mirage (25/1), Silk Air (33/1), Lizbuncon (50/1), Accladora (125/1), Secret Sacrament (125/1), Ms Thompson (200/1), Dulcina (250/1)

LILANDRA is gradually getting better and has a good chance of a first win now dropping into a claimer. Gavin Cromwell's Crystal Dawn won nicely in handicap company over C&D last week and may provide the chief threat ahead of Highly Approved.
