Forecasts

Masque Of Anarchy (10/3), Under Fox (9/2), Castle Quarter (6/1), Paddy Elliott (6/1), My Little Queens (17/2), Abnaa (10/1), Great Colaci (10/1), Melgate Majeure (14/1), John Jasper (14/1), Bonne Vitesse (25/1), Stand Free (25/1), Straight Ash (40/1), Rue De La Gaite (50/1), Fairyworld (150/1)

MY LITTLE QUEENS is going the right way from a low base in handicaps, landing back-to-back handicaps at around 1m in recent months, drawing clear for a ready success at Hamilton 6 weeks ago. She can handle the step up in trip and complete the hat-trick. Great Colaci, back on all-weather, Masque of Anarchy and Paddy Elliott head up the dangers.
