Forecasts

Juno Beach (5/2), Pandemic Princess (4/1), Kirsapp (5/1), Pulse Of Poppy (7/1), Cherry Bloom (15/2), Hardly Useless (10/1), Hot Sunset (11/1), Form Of Praise (12/1), Celebrate In Style (20/1), Sosallycanwait (20/1), Cedro (40/1)

Preference is for CHERRY BLOOM, who returned to form when runner-up at this course earlier this month and remains fairly treated. Juno Beach and Kirsapp look the likeliest dangers.
