Forecasts

Icee M B A (10/3), Steps Match (7/2), Arizona Flyer (7/2), Nymphhall (5/1), Command Chain (15/2), Fire Love (15/2), Crobally Boy (9/1), Emma Prada (10/1), Lily Light Foot (20/1), Broomfields Kan (20/1), Swiss Brid (20/1), Zaccarela (22/1), Offshore Oscar (22/1), Morning Beatrice (25/1), Royal Aide (28/1), Daisy's Hollow (40/1), Son Of Mahler (40/1), Yamato (50/1), Eversosaucy (50/1)

ICEE M B A is clearly an improved model all of a sudden and remains one to be interested with her attentions quickly returned to hurdling. Steps Match is still relatively unexposed and should continue to give a good account, with Nymphhall completing the shortlist.
