Forecasts

American Sonja (10/11), Clounmacon (2/1), Net A Porter Queen (17/2), McCauley's Tavern (10/1), Elmo Lincoln (10/1), Pinot Grigio (25/1), Alexander John (33/1), Notturno (40/1), Rathbranchurch (50/1), Hat Toss (50/1), Zentopia (66/1), Kaydees Magic (66/1), Starspangledwaves (100/1), Angel Above (100/1), Sneddy Eddie (150/1), Rohirrim Lass (150/1), Treviso (200/1)

AMERICAN SONJA boasts a progressive profile and her second in a nursery at this course is comfortably the best piece of form on show, so she's an obvious choice to open her account at the fourth time of asking. Clounmacon has offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up on both starts to date and is feared most.
