Forecasts

Annalee Lass (11/8), Ribkana (5/2), Zakram (4/1), Centerstage (9/2), Amerrone (7/1), Barrolo (8/1)

Provided that conditions don't prove to be an issue now switched to turf, ANNALEE LASS will take plenty of stopping. She lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and, with just half-a-dozen starts under her belt, she may have more to offer. Barrolo appeals as the type who will raise his game now moving up in trip for this handicap debut and he is preferred to Ribkana for forecast purposes.
