Forecasts

Annie Law (5/2), My Delilah (10/3), Eponina (6/1), Nuthatch (6/1), Beautron (7/1), Madame Fenella (15/2), Pending Appeal (9/1), Momaer (16/1), Bonkersinabundance (16/1), Delagate The Lady (20/1), Fitzroy River (33/1), Vaunted (80/1)

MY DELILAH took her form up a level when an impressive Bath winner and still looks ahead of her mark despite being hiked up 8 lb. She gets the vote ahead of Nuthatch, who can race off the same mark as when a good Goodwood second. Course winner Eponina appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
