Forecasts

Sarah's Verse (11/8), Bluebell Time (10/3), Victory Rose (4/1), Marietty (8/1), Sweet Pursuit (10/1), The Nosey Parker (14/1), Show Me Heaven (100/1)

SARAH'S VERSE arrives at the top of her game and looks the one to beat under a 5 lb penatly for her recent C&D success. In-form Bluebell Time looks the one to chase Ronald Harris' filly home, with The Nosey Parker worth considering too on her first go on turf.
