Forecasts

ROSE OHARA has been in the frame on both starts and wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last time so could have more in the locker. Pop The Champagne did well to make a winning debut on the AW and is respected under a penalty, with Maid On The Moon making most appeal of the newcomers.
