Forecasts

The Insider (11/4), Rock Of Candy (4/1), Forgetmenotblue (4/1), Breakintheclouds (8/1), Litteratus (11/1), Sovereignty (11/1), Surac (12/1), Arch Enemy (14/1), Say It So (20/1), Gregor Mendel (20/1), Theonewedreamof (33/1), Vidala (40/1), Eagles Perch (40/1), Heather Bear (50/1), Recyclable (50/1), Starlight Rose (66/1)

ROCK OF CANDY had the reopposing Forgetmenotblue behind in third when a promising second on her C&D handicap debut last month and can build on that and go one better now. Breakintheclouds has been placed on both handicap starts and is also on the shortlist in what looks quite a competitive finale.
