Forecasts

Prenup (11/5), Rose Fandango (7/2), Valentinka (4/1), Citrus Grove (4/1), Pearl Bay (10/1), Spice Store (11/1), Black Box (50/1)

ROSE FANDANGO arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways and bag a second C&D success. Prenup is less exposed and rates a big threat though on the back of her good Lingfield second, with handicap-debutante Citrus Grove not ruled out either with the prospect of more to come.
