Forecasts

Ivetwiggedit (2/5), Fazayte (11/2), Bebside Banter (13/2), Hungry Tiger (12/1), Horn Cape (14/1), Eden Mill (14/1), Burrows Hall (14/1), Something Golden (16/1), Licit (20/1), Penpal (25/1), Fathers Advice (25/1), Magic Mike (25/1), Oakmont (25/1), Bulls Aye (50/1)

A few with chances but IVETWIGGEDIT escapes a penalty for her recent conditional jockeys' success at Doncaster so can make it 2-2 for her new yard. Burrows Hall can take a step forward now going handicapping and is next on the list ahead of Bebside Banter and Licit.
