Forecasts

Sugar Hill Babe (5/2), Colors Of Freedom (4/1), Pride Of Yorkshire (4/1), Shine Honey Shine (5/1), Wasdale (15/2), Turbo Tiger (9/1), Statu Of Liberty (16/1), Tantalus (33/1)

SUGAR HILL BABE is knocking on the door and fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough success back in handicap company here. Colors of Freedom is feared most on the back of her recent Lingfield success ahead of Statu of Liberty and handicap debutant Pride of Yorkshire.
