Forecasts

Fascinating Lips (6/4), Zoom Zoom Babe (5/2), Smart Connection (9/2), Desert Land (15/2), Breckland (9/1), The First King (18/1), Bonnie Lad (40/1)

ZOOM ZOOM BABE found only an unexposed 3-y-o too good at Ffos Las 15 days ago and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her go one better here. Fascinating Lips and Breckland head the dangers.
