Forecasts

Mauby (3/1), Masaaken (4/1), She's A Cracker (5/1), Liverpool Legend (7/1), Smiley River (15/2), Western Dance (8/1), Keepingthepeace (10/1), Dutchessburnedette (14/1), Nabeela (14/1), The Sash (16/1), Mrs Hotline (16/1)

MAUBY should be thereabouts after going up only 2 lb.. Keepingthepeace can also play a leading part, while Liverpool Legend deserves some consideration too.
