Forecasts

Glancing Glory (3/1), Code Name Lise (10/3), Our Bill's Aunt (7/2), Do You Think (4/1), Becky The Boo (5/1), Nikolayeva (15/2), Eavesdropping (12/1), Craan Run (28/1), Khalina Star (33/1), Harry's Hottie (40/1), Songdance (250/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these but Kim Bailey's Presenting mare GLANCING GLORY holds the edge on form so is taken to open her account at the chief expense of Eavesdropping who should run her close if, as expected, building on her Southwell third. Do You Think and Our Bill's Aunt both figure high on the shortlist too.
