Forecasts

Sezina (8/15), Villanelle (11/2), Going Native (10/1), Loose Chippings (10/1), Go On Gal (12/1), Coup De Gold (22/1), Tamayuz's Gold (25/1), Sheldon Cooper (66/1), Royal Born (150/1)

SEZINA justified support when a ready winner over C&D on Tuesday and would hold obvious claims if taking her chance. Villanelle and Loose Chippings rate the main threats on these terms.
