Forecasts

Agartha (6/4), History (3/1), Panama Red (5/1), Suwayra (7/1), Lullaby (11/1), Show Of Stars (12/1), Lady Of Inishfree (16/1), Princess Olly (22/1), Honey Girl (28/1), Nectaris (33/1), Beautiful Sunshine (80/1), Suwappu (150/1)

HISTORY got better with each run last season and opened her account with plenty in hand in a Gowran maiden 7 months ago. She holds some loft entries and, with more to come, she's fancied to make a successful return at the likely expense of Agartha, who sets the standard on what's been achieved to this point. Panama Red is also considered.
