Forecasts

Sows (7/2), Adaay In Asia (4/1), Favourite Child (6/1), Red Joan (7/1), Rosa Mystica (8/1), Ye Gud Thing (11/1), Desert (11/1), La Feile (12/1), Bluebell Way (20/1), El Maga (22/1), Hester Prynne (22/1), Blaast (25/1)

SOWS fared best of those that were away from the favoured part of the track (and that raced prominently) in a strong Glorious Goodwood nursery last time, and she makes plenty of appeal off a 2 lb lower mark here. Stablemate Desert has to enter calculations, but bigger threats may be posed by dual AW winner Adaay In Asia, who performed well on her turf debut at Newbury last month, and Rosa Mystica.
