Forecasts

Ower Starlight (7/2), Purple Poppy (4/1), Damascus Finish (13/2), Roaring River (13/2), Lailah (7/1), Heerathetrack (8/1), Thrave (17/2), Dourado (9/1), Cap D'Antibes (10/1), Forbearing (14/1), Recuerdame (20/1), You Are My World (28/1), Adace (33/1), Sapperdean (40/1)

PURPLE POPPY seems to have returned better than ever and, if she can get across from stall 11, she should be hard to pass once again. Damascus Finish is one of few others who arrives in form, so he looks the main danger, while Ower Starlight should make his presence felt if he can put a rare poor effort behind him.
