Forecasts

Surrey Princess (15/8), Flower Of Thunder (4/1), Headshot (11/2), Sun Festival (15/2), Lake Sand (15/2), Bayston Hill (12/1), Raihaan (12/1), Dew You Believe (18/1), Jerriais (22/1), Waltzing Queen (28/1), Makambe (33/1)

SURREY PRINCESS scored on her last go over C&D and was quickly back to form when runner-up to Flower of Thunder at Leicester in April. She's on better terms with that rival now and is fancied to turn the tables, with Headshot considered a danger to the pair of them.
