Forecasts

Pablo Del Pueblo (10/3), Colombe (7/2), Glamorous Breeze (9/2), Lordsbridge Boy (5/1), Corinthia Knight (17/2), The Defiant (14/1), May Remain (16/1), Cooperation (22/1), Second Collection (25/1), Secret Handsheikh (28/1), Han Solo Berger (28/1), Haveoneyerself (33/1), Firenze Rosa (33/1), Charming Kid (50/1)

A tightly-knit handicap but George Boughey's COLOMBE made a winning return over C&D in 2021 and this strong-travelling filly is fancied to repeat the feat having had a wind op over the winter. Ascot-third Pablo Del Pueblo has his fitness proven and rates a big threat, with The Defiant another who can have a say in his bid for a fourth success of 2022.
