Forecasts

Starry Eyes (13/8), Top Class Angel (3/1), Widaad (7/2), Pink Pearl (11/1), Vanitas (12/1), Rhyme Scheme (16/1), Sienna Breeze (16/1), Danni California (18/1), Luna Wish (28/1), Lady Alavesa (40/1)

STARRY EYES won well at Lingfield last time and if she repeats that effort tonight, she'll take all the beating off a 6 lb higher mark. Top Class Angel posted a career best over C&D at the end of last month and she'll be a big danger. Lady Alavesa may offer some each-way value if the race is run to suit for her.
