Forecasts

Brilliant News (11/4), Cephalus (7/2), Bonita B (9/2), Shurut (15/2), Lightening Gesture (8/1), Almodovar Del Rio (10/1), Baby Bay (12/1), Say Grace (16/1), Intriguing Lady (22/1), Cheese The One (22/1), Delahoussaye (28/1), Sporting Icon (40/1)

BONITA B has had plenty of chances but she has been consistent and perhaps this can finally be her day. Shurut is a newcomer from a good stable and would very much need considering if the market speaks in her favour. Top-weight Brilliant News ran well in a C&D nursery last time and should also play a part from the inside stall.
