Forecasts

Emily Upjohn (5/4), Oblong Song (10/3), Atlantis Blue (5/1), Crystal Estrella (10/1), Time Lock (10/1), Follow That Star (14/1), Emotion (14/1), Remembering (16/1), Darmoiselle (16/1), Tequilamockingbird (25/1), Golden Sheen (40/1), New Year Honours (50/1), Primi Ordinis (66/1)

An interesting novice that looks sure to throw up future winners. OBLONG SONG posted an excellent second at Nottingham when last seen and seems sure to carry on progressing now her stamina is drawn out further, so she receives the vote. Darmoiselle very much catches the eye on paper for the Gosden team and strong market support would have to be taken seriously. Stablemate Emily Upjohn impressed on her debut at Wolverhampton and is seemingly the choice of Dettori.
