Forecasts

Al Husn (7/2), Persist (7/1), I'll Be There (8/1), Dha Leath (17/2), White Willow (17/2), Zenga (9/1), Something Enticing (11/1), Crystal Estrella (12/1), Morgan Fairy (14/1), Kings Joy (16/1), Suzy's Shoes (16/1), Bellstreet Bridie (20/1), Good American (25/1)

A competitive-looking opener, with I'LL BE THERE the pick to complete her hat-trick. Having settled better than previously at Sandown last time, she can continue her progress with the step up in trip expected to suit on pedigree. Heading the list of dangers is Al Husn, who bids for a 4-timer, while Persist was value for extra when winning at Haydock on her latest outing.
