Forecasts

Bourgeoisie (7/4), Seaward (2/1), Zenjabeela (5/2), Upscale (11/4), Hard To Resist (11/2), Word Play (8/1), I Love Paris (9/1), Prize Possession (10/1), Modern Verse (20/1)

There's a fair amount of depth to this novice with the well-bred filly UPSCALE selected to go one place better having shaped with plenty of promise over this C&D on debut a month ago. Bourgeoisie and Zenjabeela are obvious dangers on form, while all 4 newcomers, particularly Seaward, appeal on paper.
