Forecasts

Maid In Kentucky (3/1), Rich (9/2), Orange Martini (11/2), She's Hot (7/1), Three Priests (17/2), Crystal Estrella (10/1), Pure Gold (11/1), Wisper (12/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (12/1), Rikona (28/1)

George Boughey's progressive filly MAID IN KENTUCKY looks to have been let in very lightly for her handicap bow so is fancied to complete her hat-trick. Roger Varian's Three Priests shaped well when second at Newcastle and is feared most ahead of handicap-debutante Orange Martini who also looks to have better days ahead of her.
