Forecasts

Regal Envoy (2/1), Makarova (11/4), Cityjet (11/2), Flying Secret (8/1), Dream By Day (9/1), Nickleby (9/1), Wrought Iron (16/1), Pull The Lever (22/1), Top Exhibit (33/1), Musical Mystery (80/1)

REGAL ENVOY is progressing well and is taken to defy an opening mark of 70 given how much he had in hand at Bath 18 days ago. Makarova showed much-improved form to get off the mark on her turf/handicap debut over this C&D 3 weeks ago and is the obvious threat, while Dream By Day shaped as if needing his return and remains with potential.
