Forecasts

Fonzerelli (4/9), Marsh Wren (7/4), Lady's Present (33/1), Paper Tiger (80/1), Noble Affair (250/1)

The hat-trick beckons for FONZERELLI, who took the step up to listed level in her stride when scoring at Doncaster last month and back in calmer waters, she should take all the beating. Marsh Wren trailed in last behind the selection that day but she looks the obvious danger to the selection on this occasion.
