Forecasts

Navassa Island (4/5), Bellezza (5/2), Brilliant (4/1), With Style (14/1), Andalusian Star (14/1), Glamora (14/1), Glor Tire (33/1), Glimmerglass (80/1), Soiree Dansante (80/1), Maple Star (150/1), Time'll Tell (200/1)

NAVASSA ISLAND made a highly promising debut when second to Porta Fortuna at Naas and, while she failed to back that up behind her old rival in the Albany at Royal Ascot, she's likely to open her account back in calmer waters. Bellezza and With Style are both appealing newcomers.
