Forecasts

Denable (9/4), Kitten's Dream (5/2), Quiet Thunder (7/2), First Blood (17/2), Chef De Troupe (11/1), Colonial Love (14/1), Merci Percy (18/1)

Not a strong handicap so QUIET THUNDER, who gave a good account of herself here last time and is totally unexposed as a stayer, looks the way to go. Kitten's Dream drops in class and is a threat, while First Blood ought to step up on his Catterick run.
