Forecasts

Pretty Fair (2/1), Tucson Cloud (9/4), Aljardaa (5/1), Princess Nadia (8/1), Cedar's Stars (9/1), Opening Scene (12/1), Maiden's Tower (12/1), Dreambird (25/1), Magenta (80/1), Vivid Luminosity (300/1)

CEDAR'S STARS travelled very well at Newcastle last month and gave the impression she'd come on for that reappearance run. She has scope to improve and should take all the beating here. Pretty Fair looks the biggest danger after an encouraging debut at Kempton. Tucson Cloud is another likely improver that has to be taken seriously.
