Forecasts

Kind Gesture (2/5), Donna Italiana (8/1), Island Of Skye (11/1), High And Wide (12/1), Riley's Positano (12/1), Jacovec Cavern (16/1), Schilthorn (18/1), Captain Wentworth (40/1), Fifty Sent (50/1), Strictlyaprince (80/1), She's The Boss (150/1), Cable Mountain (200/1)

KIND GESTURE has made a promising start to her career and this looks a good opportunity for her to follow up from her Wetherby success. Having shown plenty on debut she didn't need to improve to open her account last time, but she is from a smart family and remains open to progress. High And Wide could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Riley's Positano completing the shortlist.
