Forecasts

Ischia (6/4), Masterclass (7/4), Alfred Cove (3/1), Woe Betide (4/1), La Equinata (7/1)

ISCHIA doesn't look especially progressive, but she has nevertheless shown more than enough to suggest that a maiden of this nature should be within her grasp. Masterclass is narrowly preferred to Alfred Cove for forecast purposes.
