Forecasts

Golden Pacific (4/5), Summer Odyssey (11/4), European Summer (5/1), Act Naturally (9/1), Esther (10/1), Baby Love (14/1), Variety Breeze (16/1)

BABY LOVE has a marked edge on form and is well up to taking this with plenty in hand. European Summer is fancied as the best bet for second, while Summer Odyssey is another to bear in mind.
