Forecasts

Opera Forever (9/4), Lady Boba (11/4), Mochi (7/2), Corymbosa (5/1), Dandelion Time (15/2), Wodhooh (8/1), Value Added (17/2), Sea Of Elegance (10/1), Fools And Horses (11/1), Ghibelline (14/1), Scenic (14/1), Roarin' Success (14/1), Charming Lily (22/1), Alodia (25/1), Rayena (33/1), Aurora Dawn (33/1)

The usual quota of well-bred newcomers from top yards represented but preference is for the once-raced MOCHI. Richard Hannon's filly knew her job when runner-up at Kempton earlier this month and with improvement on the cards, she's fancied to go one better today. Fools And Horses heads up the dangers of those with racecourse experience, while newcomers Corymbosa, Lady Boba and Wodhooh all have plenty to recommend them on paper.
