Forecasts

Princess Wannabe (7/2), Anjah (5/1), Tara Power (5/1), Mr Mills (11/2), Emeric (11/2), Nevada Brave (8/1), Kartayaz (10/1), Coushty (10/1), Celtic Revival (10/1), Never Mistabeat (16/1), Early Strike (22/1), Great To Get Out (28/1), Together Aclaim (50/1), Sod's Law (50/1), Be Adored (50/1), Macaban City (66/1), High Voltage (66/1)

PRINCESS WANNABE is gradually progressive and her pedigree points to more still, so she takes marginal preference over Tara Power, who is well treated and wasn't beaten far when fourth over C&D last time. Mr Mills is another one to consider and Nevada Brave should give a good account from a handy draw.
