Forecasts

Final Rendezvous (7/2), Deny Knowledge (4/1), Roman Encounter (9/2), Twice Adaay (5/1), Puchita (17/2), Seeking Perfection (10/1), Salsoul (10/1), Credible (16/1), Vintage Polly (22/1)

TWICE ADAAY has been raised 7 lb for her Beverley success but she looks to have improved and looks the most likely winner from the bottom of the weights. Roman Encounter ran well at Ayr last month and a repeat of that effort will see her go close. Deny Knowledge can't be ruled out either.
