Forecasts

Miss Jabeam (10/3), Sasvana (11/2), Raffaello (11/2), Oh Purple Reign (13/2), Scream (17/2), Tennesse Waltz (12/1), No Show (14/1), Dragon Belle (16/1), Maestro Stick (16/1), Overtake (16/1), Pride Of Pimlico (16/1), Sweet Justice (20/1), Simply Sideways (20/1), Olly's Folly (22/1), Sayesse (25/1), Windsor Diamond (125/1)

MISS JABEAM is on a good mark and seems to be coming to the boil nicely judged on recent efforts, so she's put forward as the answer. Oh Purple Reign is not taken lightly now returning to handicap company having not been seen to best effect in a Bellowstown claimer last time. Raffaello could also have a big say in the outcome if a change of headgear has a positive impact.
