Forecasts

General Moriviere (5/2), Gendarme (5/2), Getaway Queen (9/2), Romella (11/2), Dympnas Well (13/2), Time And Times (8/1), Lady Rocco (9/1), I Don't Get It (14/1), My Wings (16/1), Fortfield Lady (22/1), Blaze Of Light (25/1), Eaton Lady (28/1), Galaxy Girl (28/1), Wild Desire (33/1), Miss Victrix (80/1)

TIME AND TIMES went very close on his recent Navan reappearance and may be capable of going one better this time. General Moriviere has made a solid start in handicaps and may have even more to come so he's put up as the main danger ahead of last-time-out scorers Romella and Dympnas Well.
