Forecasts

Westmorian (11/5), Azure Blue (5/2), Matty Too (9/2), Lady Lade (11/1), Buckshaw Village (12/1), Lady Raeburn (12/1), Fly To Glory (12/1), Eternal Glory (16/1), Papa K (20/1)

AZURE BLUE made a promising return to action last time and can step up on that effort to make her second start in a handicap a winning one. The filly travelled through the York contest as if she has more to offer this year, so she is taken to reverse the placings with Westmorian. Completing the shortlist is Lady Raeburn who showed her best form yet at Nottingham last month.
