Forecasts

Dazzling Rock (8/13), Tampere (4/1), Bye Bye Lady (5/1), Good View (12/1), Graceful Lady (18/1), Mauricio (50/1)

BYE BYE LADY made a positive start as a 3yo, comfortably off the mark at Wolverhampton on her second outing, so she's worth chancing to make the most of a lenient opening mark despite having a year-long absence to overcome. The consistent Dazzling Rock will likely be on hand to capitalise if the selection disappoints, though the less exposed Tampere is also of interest now switched to handicaps.
