Forecasts

Ghadbbaan (5/2), Land Of Winter (7/2), Dance To Paris (4/1), Eagle Court (9/2), Let Me Be (5/1), Au Clair De Lune (6/1), Nakeeta (7/1), Notation (11/1), Bollin Neil (11/1)

DANCE TO PARIS showed a really willing attitude when seeing off Ghadbbaan at York a month ago and she is taken to follow up from 2 lb higher. That rival has to be a threat again, with Eagle Court and Notation also of interest.
