Forecasts

Rose Prick (9/4), Amaretti Virginia (9/4), Vermilion (3/1), Mehme (4/1), Looe P Looe (28/1), Yoo Bee See (66/1)

MEHME showed a bit more than on debut without being knocked about when fifth at Sandown 8 days ago and can get off the mark at the third attempt with further improvement to come. She is preferred over stablemate Amaretti Virginia, with Ed Walker's filly Rose Prick completing the shortlist.
