Forecasts

Foreign Legion (11/4), Dream Tale (5/1), St George's Head (11/2), Sunset Nova (6/1), Farnese (15/2), Masalai (8/1), Well Suited (11/1), Never Back Down (12/1), Togoville (12/1), Memsie (16/1), Gatwick Kitten (16/1), Woods (20/1), Jm Barrie (20/1), Guiding (25/1), Lansing (28/1), Iontach (28/1), Upstate New York (40/1)

ST GEORGE'S HEAD is thriving and beat a subsequent winner here a fortnight ago so is fancied to go well again despite an 8 lb rise. Dream Tale shaped well on his handicap debut last week and is considered, while Well Suited is threatening to strike again soon. The lightly-raced Iontach likely has races in her also.
