Forecasts

Senescence (4/5), Kool Baikal (6/1), Last Cheer (13/2), Liverpool Legend (8/1), Emaline (8/1), Chevron (10/1), Twice The Act (22/1), The Brass Way (22/1), Western Dance (33/1), Flying First Class (40/1), Bold Matador (50/1), Walterthepenniless (66/1), Blue Moon City (80/1), Wylie The Great (100/1)

Hard to see beyond the promising SENESCENCE in her hat-trick bid. Walterthepenniless and Western Dance are feared.
