Forecasts

Another Baar (7/4), Lily In The Jungle (5/2), Caesars Pearl (9/2), We'renotreallyhere (15/2), Cawthornes Gem (18/1), Azucena (18/1), Royal Mariner (20/1), Glendown (22/1), Run Cmc (40/1)

The return to quicker conditions saw LILY IN THE JUNGLE land her third C&D victory last month and a 6 lb penalty may not prevent further success here. We'renotreallyhere and Another Baar are feared most.
