Forecasts

Treasure Trove (6/4), Apricot Twist (4/1), Ocean Quest (5/1), Dower House (9/1), Lady Tilbury (11/1), Daamberdiplomat (14/1), Coralillo (16/1), Tiger Paw (16/1), Studio City (25/1), Decorated My Life (80/1)

Having won on debut at this venue over 5f, OCEAN QUEST shaped very well when third in a sales race at Navan a month ago. With the prospect of more to come she's a viable alternative to Treasure Trove, who sets a useful standard on her York win. Apricot Twist is also capable of better.
