Forecasts

Pretty Gorgeous (6/4), Pearls Galore (5/2), Roca Roma (7/1), Loch Lein (8/1), Parent's Prayer (10/1), Miramis (20/1), Friendly (25/1), Surrounding (28/1), Thinking Of You (40/1), Pale Iris (40/1), Rocket Science (66/1), Elizabethan (66/1), Sziget (80/1), Let's (80/1), Acquiescent (100/1), Sweet Gardenia (125/1)

PRETTY GORGEOUS has gradually been working her way back to her smart 2-y-o form and faces a much easier task here, so she's fancied to resume winning ways. Pearls Galore should continue to give a good account at this level, with Roca Roma also feared on the back of a career best.
