Forecasts

Hostelry (5/2), Galileo Glass (7/2), Kenstone (15/2), Coffeemeanscoffee (15/2), Luxy Lou (15/2), Galactic Glow (8/1), Bantry (12/1), Bhubezi (14/1), Lunar Space (16/1), Fitzrovia (22/1), Diamond Cottage (25/1), Winnaretta (33/1), Azamhan (100/1)

Irish challenger COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick now stepping back up in trip. In-form duo Galactic Glow and Kenstone appeal as the two to give Tom McGuinness's mare most to do and can chase her home in that order.
