Forecasts

Mezon (6/4), Cover Up (10/3), Flying Kiss (10/3), Starstriker (5/1), Make Clear (12/1), Baulac (66/1), Hallrose (100/1), Someone's Wish (200/1)

MEZON did well to overcome greenness when making a winning start at Leicester and can defy a 7 lb penalty with a fair bit more to come from this Caravaggio filly. Chelmsford City second Make Clear also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list ahead of Flying Kiss and the returning Starstriker.
