Forecasts

Marsa (9/4), Shaky Operator (7/2), Holy Divine (4/1), Princess Rajj (9/2), Marm (7/1), The Smull (10/1), Clarinbridge (14/1), Mymacushla (25/1), Beau Amir (28/1), Chattahoochee (80/1)

HOLY DIVINE improved when runner-up over 1m here 5 days ago so, provided the race doesn't come too soon, she's capable of going one better in a race that looks pretty thin. Shaky Operator and Marsa arrive on the back of mildly encouraging nursery debuts and have the scope for a bit better, so they also come into the reckoning.
