Forecasts

Fauvette (2/1), Lilkian (2/1), Tyger Bay (9/1), Spanish Angel (10/1), Cotai Bear (10/1), Silver Nemo (11/1), Expert Opinion (12/1), Red Alert (14/1), Storm Over (25/1), Giorgio Vasari (25/1), Cappananty Con (40/1), Cuban Breeze (50/1)

FAUVETTE could be forgiven her disappointing effort at Pontefract in attritional conditions and she can bounce back. She's a winner on polytrack and looked as though she was progressing when winning at Yarmouth in September. Expert Opinion has won here and showed more last time so warrants respect. Lilkian is next on the list.
