Forecasts

Sacred Bridge (5/4), Contarelli Chapel (5/1), Homeless Songs (6/1), Agartha (15/2), Panama Red (12/1), Cigamia (14/1), Seisai (16/1), Star Girls Aalmal (16/1), Villanova Queen (22/1), Pennine Hills (25/1), Beautiful Sunshine (66/1), Viareggio (100/1)

SACRED BRIDGE lost nothing in defeat when surrendering her unbeaten record in the Cheveley Park and is fancied to make it 5-6 on her seasonal return. Contarelli Chapel remains with a fair bit of potential and looks the one to chase home Ger Lyons' smart filly, with C&D winner Agartha appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
