Forecasts

Ancestral Prayer (13/8), Rose Of Bayeux (9/2), Owlette (13/2), Buttercup (15/2), Iqembulabesifazane (15/2), Crown Plaza (15/2), State Of Mind (10/1), Rhythm Of The Rain (12/1), Holly's View (12/1), Sing Girl Sing (20/1), Libran Lana (28/1), One Bite At A Time (40/1)

ANCESTRAL PRAYER couldn't send favourite backers home happy last time, but still makes most appeal again. Holly's View can't hope for much better than second, while Buttercup has a place chance as well.
