Forecasts

Ladywood (6/5), Pocketeer (9/2), Baby Sham (6/1), Complexo (7/1), Classy Dame (10/1), The Bay Warrior (18/1), Ghostly (20/1), Baroness Rachael (20/1), Princess Elektra (40/1), Papas Champ (40/1), Eaux De Vie (66/1), Inspiring Love (125/1)

LADYWOOD had several of these rivals behind when opening her account at Chelmsford last month and remains open to further improvement. She can follow up. Complexo and Pocketeer rate the principal dangers.
