Forecasts

Calm Skies (7/4), Princess Karine (2/1), Monica (5/1), Negwah (11/2), Global Context (10/1)

PRINCESS KARINE ultimately made a cosy winning debut at Musselburgh in April despite showing her inexperience, so she can build on her first racecourse outing to make it 2 wins from 2 with the step up in trip to suit. She is taken to improve past Calm Skies, who is an interesting recruit to the Michael Dods yard, while Monica is open to further progress having shaped well when last seen at Newcastle.
