Forecasts

Teddy Boy (16/5), Gatwick Kitten (16/5), King's View (7/2), Beleaguerment (9/2), Dolce Sicily (5/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (13/2), Elegant Ellen (9/1), Breakfast Club (12/1), Curraheen Princess (14/1), Boughtinthedark (16/1), Blue Umbrella (20/1), Cool As Ever (20/1), Samrogue (28/1), Jimmy Mcgill (40/1), Seanjohnsilver (40/1), I've Got Wings (80/1), Bobs Authority (150/1)

All three of DOLCE SICILY's career wins have been gained over 6f, but she shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop back to the minimum trip and resumes on a mark just 2 lb above that off which she was successful at Sligo in June. Cases can be made for King's View and Teddy Boy, but they hardly boast compelling strike rates (0-33 and 2-42 respectively) and Gatwick Kitten is feared most.
