Forecasts

Princess Shabnam (2/1), Aunt Bethany (16/5), Ruggles (9/2), Perfect News (5/1), Red Joan (15/2), Basholo (18/1), Token Trader (25/1), Girl Inthe Picture (50/1)

This looks ripe for a newcomer and AUNT BETHANY, who represents a yard that can ready one first time out, could be up to the task. Perfect News is another debutante who makes plenty of appeal on paper and needs a market check, while Princess Shabnam sets the standard on form.
