Forecasts

Boom Boom Pow (11/8), California Gem (5/1), Twilight Tryst (5/1), Billy's Joy (13/2), Dragon Glory (15/2), Lola's Moment (10/1), Kodi Dancer (20/1), Varden Kite (25/1), Alexa's Princess (80/1), Thiago (100/1), Unknown Angel (125/1)

BOOM BOOM POW made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Windsor last week and is selected to go one better with improvement on the cards. California Gem failed to justify strong support on her Catterick debut but still showed good speed and is likely to leave that behind. Billy's Joy and Twilight Tryst are also shortlisted on the back of encouraging debuts.
