Forecasts

Princesse Animale (6/4), Canzone (7/2), Mount Mayon (7/2), Dr Jekyll (15/2), Big Impression (8/1), Hundred Isles (16/1)

This looks to be a good piece of placing by connections of PRINCESSE ANIMALE receiving weight from all back in a novice. With Mount Mayon engaged at Southwell on Thursday, Big Impression may well take a big jump forward on second start and chase the selection home.
