Forecasts

Scarlet Dancer (2/1), Sosallycanwait (5/1), Teddy Boy (7/1), Florence Thompson (8/1), Realtin Fantasy (8/1), Derrinlaur Spender (17/2), Eruption (12/1), Silver Nemo (12/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (14/1), My Girl Sioux (14/1), Disco Bear (18/1), Ever Rock (20/1), Sin E Shekells (28/1), Astral Beat (33/1), King's View (50/1), Okyle Lass (66/1)

SOSALLYCANWAIT bounced back to form when finding only an improving 3-y-o too good at Naas last week and while a 5 lb rise isn't ideal, she remains a very appealing candidate at this level. Disco Bear is not yet exposed and feared most, ahead of Florence Thompson.
