Forecasts

Ha Long Bay (11/4), Naughty Nadine (9/2), Guitar (9/2), Shabs (11/2), Hello Power (6/1), Bearcardi (17/2), Clodovea (11/1), Angels Tale (12/1), Minxie (14/1), Primo (16/1), Alaskan Wind (20/1), May Punch (22/1), Golden Prosperity (40/1), Premiership (40/1), Without Delay (66/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest. NAUGHTY BOY bids for a first victory and is selected on the back of her good Kempton fourth, with Ha Long Bay and Shabs appealing as the pick of the remainder.
