Forecasts

Pam's Princess (9/4), Paris Opera (4/1), Mesmerizing Moon (5/1), What A Blizzard (15/2), Catch The Cat (8/1), Flaming Lass (9/1), Blindlove (10/1), Law And Order (16/1), Mendocino (18/1), Romanoff (25/1), Royal Welcome (28/1), After The Storm (33/1), Sofia Erin (33/1), Isn't It Bliss (33/1), Persica (40/1)

PAM'S PRINCESS was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but edges it as the selection once again. Mesmerizing Moon makes most appeal among the remainder, while Paris Opera could also get a look-in.
