Forecasts

Fact Or Fable (9/2), Romanovich (9/2), Sapphire's Moon (11/2), Simply Gorgeous (6/1), Queen Sarabi (15/2), Deacs Delight (15/2), Valorant (15/2), Tara (11/1), Moveonup (25/1)

ROMANOVICH hasn't had much racing and there was mild encouragement in his sixth at Wolverhampton last time out, so he's a tentative choice in a weak race. Simply Gorgeous is worthy of consideration and Tara arrives on the back of a creditable run, so she's not a forlorn hope.
