Forecasts

Mk Drama (4/1), Theophile (11/2), Newgirlintown (7/1), Maud Gonne Spirit (8/1), Dedillon (9/1), Sh Boom (11/1), Sister Lola (11/1), Menagerie (14/1), Fearless Girl (16/1), Lady Scathach (16/1), Never Forgotten (16/1), Celtic Crown (20/1), Miss Myers (28/1), Pachmena (50/1)

MK DRAMA arrives in good nick and can boast a C&D win so gets the nod in a tightly-knit handicap. Sister Lola is another course winner who commands plenty of respect with in-form Fearless Girl rating a solid place prospect.
