Forecasts

Cathmart Desjy (7/4), Sheer Liss (5/2), Bonarc (10/3), Raven Rule (4/1), Saucy Yeats (9/2), Jenny's Getaway (9/1), Tango Theatre (16/1), Hide And Seek (22/1), Larkfield Legacy (25/1), Bonnie Kellie (33/1), Secret Sea (40/1), Seskin Dancer (80/1), Lady De Vesci (80/1), Miss Adventurous (125/1), Achendar (150/1)

CATHMART DESJY is a big player on form and remains open to further improvement, so gets the nod. Sheer Liss is the other potential improver in the field and is next best ahead of Saucy Yeats, who took a step forward when third in this headgear at Tramore.
