Forecasts

Modaara (4/9), Wodhooh (7/2), Polar Princess (5/1), Pop The Champagne (40/1), My Chiquita (125/1), Star For A Day (125/1)

MODAARA drew clear in the style of a useful prospect when off the mark at Chelmsford in October and she can make a winning return to action with further improvement to come. Polar Princess could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Wodhooh the pick of the remainder.
