Forecasts

Cushuish (9/4), Sandy Boy (9/2), Cesar Et Rosalie (6/1), His Dream (15/2), Well Smitten (8/1), Twojayslad (8/1), Mr Mafia (9/1), Champagne Noir (9/1), Diamond Brig (20/1), Court Duty (25/1)

CUSHUISH arrives at the top of her game and looks to have been found a good opportunity to extend her winning run. Sandy Boy and Well Smitten should also go well.
