Forecasts

Roaring Potter (2/5), She Is A Contender (7/2), Whisper In Court (11/1), So Ladylike (14/1), Turnthelightsoff (18/1), Born Famous (100/1), Glendars Mahler (100/1)

ROARING POTTER left the impression this stiffer test of stamina would suit and can get off the mark in the opener. She Is A Contender looks the obvious danger with So Ladylike best of the rest.
