Forecasts

Star Kissed (4/6), Teagarden Jazz (7/2), The Gossiper (4/1), Art Of Silence (10/1), Douglas Dc (10/1), Indulging (25/1), I Fall To Pieces (33/1), Tom The Plasterer (33/1), Dark Miss (50/1), Honketonk Angel (50/1), Black Smoke (66/1), Way Forward (100/1), Encore De Mer (100/1), Ely Bandero (150/1), All Ways And Ever (200/1)

STAR KISSED sets the standard on her second at Killarney six months ago and there's more to come, so she's worth siding with ahead of Teagarden Jazz, who makes her first Flat start for this stable. The latter's stablemate, Douglas DC, is also worth considering.
