Forecasts

Elvrika (3/1), Sunset Bay (3/1), Celtic Empress (7/2), Verreaux Eagle (7/1), Matamua (8/1), Lexington Liberty (14/1), Star Shakeera (16/1), Elegant Ellen (25/1), Via Sistina (40/1), Love Sensation (50/1), Fleeting Blue (150/1), Allayne B (300/1)

SUNSET BAY was a shade disappointing on her all-weather debut at Kempton when last seen in October, but with her Newmarket form having worked out well the time before, she has to be worth another chance. Elvrika and Verreaux Eagle look the other key players on form, but newcomer Matamua would also need taking seriously if well backed.
