Forecasts

Manettino (13/8), Monaadhil (4/1), Lilandra (6/1), Alafdhal (13/2), Vivency (12/1), Audit (12/1), Doolily (14/1), Mick McHugh (14/1), Steel Duchess (16/1), Brave Display (16/1), Ower Starlight (20/1), Apache Charm (40/1), Mammasaidknockuout (50/1)

Decisive Chepstow winner LILANDRA still looks fairly treated and may be able to score again. Steel Duchess and Ower Starlight head the list of dangers.
