Forecasts

Haarar (11/10), Tarraff (2/1), Waterloo Sunset (5/1), Sea Of Charm (7/1), Letaba (9/1), Byzantine Empire (12/1), Total Lockdown (25/1)

HAARAR goes off the same mark as when runner-up at Epsom last time and is taken to go one better now. The reliable Waterloo Sunset is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Tarraff brings unexposed potential to her handicap debut and is one to note in the market.
