Forecasts

Princess Naomi (11/4), Queen Of Thrones (9/2), River Naver (11/2), Alainn Tu (6/1), Jax Edge (8/1), Winnaretta (8/1), Talamanca (8/1), Tamango Sands (17/2), My Delilah (16/1), Smasher (25/1)

After an encouraging reappearance, TALAMANCA had a wide trip at Chelmsford 20 days ago so he can leave his latest effort behind and return to winning ways back down in grade. Jax Edge could be the main danger having made a successful nursery debut when last seen, while River Naver is an interesting contender on her handicap bow.
