Forecasts

Apologise (4/1), Zebos Beanos (4/1), Chutzpal (9/2), Forgetmenotblue (9/2), Danfango (6/1), Bayou Belle (8/1), Breakintheclouds (8/1), Vintage Gold (11/1), Queen Of Sovana (14/1), Mr Globalist (18/1), Joven De Corazon (25/1), Destivelle (50/1)

FORGETMENOTBLUE has had a few chances but she kept on quite nicely for a never-nearer fifth on her recent return from a break at Down Royal and is taken to build on that and get off the mark at the ninth time of asking. Zebos Beanos made an encouraging start to her handicap career when third in a big field at Bellewstown recently and can play a prominent role again. Handicap newcomer Apologise is another to consider.
