Forecasts

Yorkshire Pirlo (7/2), Setantii Girl (5/1), Seaclusion (11/2), Shaykhoon (11/2), Annie Rose (11/2), Khabib (6/1), Navajo Spring (9/1), Rainbow's Pony (18/1)

SETANTII GIRL looks very interesting having switched from James Given to Archie Watson and gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting speak in her favour. David Barron has been among the winners of late so Annie Rose, who has a good record on this surface at Wolverhampton, is respected on her return from a break. Navajo Spring is also on the shortlist.
