Forecasts

Highland Dress (3/1), Documenting (4/1), Mums Tipple (9/2), Raaeb (9/2), Lord Of The Lodge (5/1), Shimmering Dawn (12/1), Ghaith (18/1), Ostilio (25/1), Belle Anglaise (150/1)

HIGHLAND DRESS has upped his game in recent starts and edges the vote over Documenting, who wasn't seen to best effect when finishing third to the selection at Lingfield in November. Mums Tipple flopped as a 3-y-o but looks the type to come back better this season on the evidence of his reappearance run.
