Forecasts

The Caltonian (4/1), Clotherholme (13/2), See My Baby Jive (7/1), Elettaria (7/1), Cosa Sara (8/1), Van Zant (17/2), Tathmeen (9/1), Rockin Rosa (9/1), Rum Runner (12/1), Miss Willows (16/1), Dandys Gold (18/1), Prince Hector (28/1)

SEE MY BABY JIVE ran well on a rare go over 7f here 3 weeks ago and could be worth chancing in the hope she gets a decent pace to aim at, a comment which also applies to Elettaria, who scored readily at the same meeting. Clotherholme is another to consider.
