Forecasts

Albus Anne (8/11), Big Bear Hug (85/40), Rose Bolt (4/1), Medina Gold (13/2), Sea Of Elegance (10/1), Tilt At Windmills (16/1), Many Rivers (16/1), Motasaleeta (28/1), Love Whisper (100/1)

ALBUS ANNE found plenty when scoring over C&D last time and she's fancied to defy a rise in a race where the majority have something to prove. The unexposed Rose Bolt is a danger and Big Bear Hug could bounce back to form after a break.
