Forecasts

Mighty Blue (11/4), Thunder Kiss (3/1), Moll (7/2), High Heels (5/1), Silence Please (11/2), French Fusion (7/1), Haparanda (9/1), Tartlette (20/1), Dearg Jazz (22/1), Ubuntu (80/1)

MOLL continued her upward trajectory when a cosy winner of a listed race on reappearance in April and with her limit not yet known, she looks the one to beat. Silence Please can boast some smart 3-y-o form and is expected to leave her York run behind, with Mighty Blue and Thunder Kiss also likely to be thereabouts.
