Forecasts

Persica (6/4), Sahara Kitten (7/2), Marefuori (9/2), Bits And Bobs (11/2), Quorate (12/1), Persian Phoenix (16/1)

PERSICA wasn't seen to best effect in a sales race at York 16 days ago and with this trip likely to unlock more (dam won over this far abroad) he's just about the most persuasive option. Marefuori upped his game at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and is feared most at the foot of the weights.
