Forecasts

Must Be Obeyed (4/1), Humble Glory (4/1), Seangoell (11/2), Waitnsee (6/1), Missiee (7/1), Forgetthesurprise (7/1), Malina Girl (8/1), Fiveaftermidnight (10/1), Brooks Falls (12/1), Aprils Joy (14/1), Lily Of Dromard (18/1), Coulonces (66/1)

HUMBLE GLORY found a Grade 1 too hot to handle last time but looks fairly treated on the pick of her form now moving into handicap company for the first time. Fiveaftermidnight went close off a higher mark over fences last time so she's feared most ahead of Seangoell.
