Forecasts

Apache Grey (11/4), Lethal Touch (4/1), Dawahy (4/1), Kanuhura (11/2), Rodolfo (6/1), Damascus Finish (10/1), Miss Bluebelle (12/1), Easy With Aces (16/1), Storytime (40/1)

DAWAHY still looked rough around the edges when following up at Wolverhampton last week so her limit may not be reached. With that in mind. she can defy a penalty, possibly at the main expense of Lethal Touch and Rodolfo.
