Forecasts

Technique (2/1), Lady Hayes (10/3), Lilac Road (11/2), Gloria Mundi (11/2), A La Voile (8/1), Freyja (11/1), Invite (12/1), Vesela (18/1), Salsada (33/1)

GLORIA MUNDI found the Ribblesdale a step too far early in her career but she's been given a break since and remains with potential based on her positive start prior to that, so a chance is taken that she can improve past Technique and Lady Hayes and come out on top.
