Forecasts

Shewearsitwell (2/7), Cash Back (10/3), Jon Snow (6/1), The Bosses Oscar (8/1), Soviet Pimpernel (9/1), Peregrine Run (12/1), Amirite (12/1), Off You Go (14/1)

It's notable that SOVIET PIMPERNEL's new connections have opted for a return to hurdling and, in a tricky race, she might be worth chancing to get the better of Shewearsitwell, who would probably win if she could produce her best form. Cash Back is also on the radar.
