Forecasts

Outcast (16/5), Lucky Ava (4/1), Porfin (4/1), Ocean Eyes (5/1), Brazen Belle (15/2), Campachoochoo (9/1), Readman (12/1), Emulate Rose (25/1)

Most of these arrive with questions marks against them, so this looks a good opportunity for OUTCAST to add to her earlier C&D victory given she should be all the sharper for her recent Lingfield fourth after a break. Fellow C&D scorer Campachoochoo rates the chief threat now she gets back on polytrack, with Porfin appealing as the pick of the remainder.
