Forecasts

The Twelve Pins (11/10), Fortunate Lighting (7/2), Royal Hollow (7/2), Pinky (5/1), Faux Fur (13/2), Little Soiree (10/1), Miss Oreo (25/1), Shanlaylin (25/1), Lady Bluebird (28/1), Shannon Bank (66/1), Theflyingbee (80/1), Runremyrun (100/1), In My Defense (100/1), Dereks Dream (125/1), Doyen Flyer (150/1), Cedar Wood (200/1), Sister Emmanuel (250/1)

THE TWELVE PINS hasn't been seen since making a promising debut at this track 12 months ago, but that's not really a concern given the yard she hails from and, with improvement on the cards, it entitles her to be seen as the one to beat. Faux Fur is improving by the run so warrants a good deal of respect, as does Royal Hollow, who shaped well on her debut at Tramore in June.
