Forecasts

Razeyna (5/6), Doux Esprit (7/2), Postwick (6/1), Burgoo Beauty (10/1), Vazire (11/1), Barney's Angel (18/1), Glory And Honour (22/1), Aqwaam (40/1), Highland Lass (80/1)

Having beaten a subsequent winner on debut at Newbury in April, RAZEYNA can be excused defeat at Newcastle and is fancied to quickly get back on the up. Doux Esprit and Postwick look the main threats.
