Forecasts

Kelina (7/2), Blue Rose Cen (9/2), Never Ending Story (6/1), Ardent (6/1), Wed (13/2), Habana (13/2), Breege (16/1), Dandy Alys (16/1), Start Me Up (28/1), Aspen Grove (28/1), Shalromy (28/1), Gan Teorainn (40/1)

WED is improving at a rate of knots and makes plenty of appeal up in trip from a good draw. Kelina looks smart and won't be far away, while German runner Habana has a fair shout.
