Forecasts

Queen Of Ipanema (4/6), Overstate (7/1), Calcutta Dream (7/1), Curley Rose (15/2), Channel Packet (12/1), Capparis (18/1), Kanuhura (25/1), Shyjack (28/1), Retrouvailles (40/1), Sweet Summer (50/1), Eljaytee (66/1)

QUEEN OF IPANEMA has proved a different proposition switched to handicaps/fitted with a tongue tie, readily landing back-to-back contests at Wolverhampton in recent days, and she looks the one to beat once more in search of the hat-trick. Curley Rose is another low-mileage sort and is feared most, ahead of Calcutta Dream and Overstate.
