Forecasts

Queenship (3/1), Elizabethan (3/1), Silver Service (11/2), Sindhia (8/1), Music To My Ears (17/2), Newgirlintown (11/1), Deidra (12/1), Galtee Mist (16/1), Fearless Girl (18/1), Miss Myers (20/1), Celtic Crown (28/1)

An interesting handicap. The very well-bred ELIZABETHAN should have plenty more to come this year and is selected to make light of an opening mark in the low-90s on her return to action. Joseph O'Brien pair Music To My Ears and Queenship also appeal as likely having more to offer and head the dangers.
