Forecasts

Jewel In My Crown (11/8), Portfolio (9/4), Khezaana (11/4), Mystery Show (11/1), Unfoolish (20/1)

A few of these offer potential, not least JEWEL IN MY CROWN who relished the step up to 1m2f when scoring at Nottingham and can defy a 4 lb rise to complete her hat-trick. Henry Candy's lightly-raced Unfoolish also has better days ahead of her and is feared most on her first go in a handicap, while in-form Portfolio isn't ruled out easily either in her bid for a breakthrough victory.
