Forecasts

Mrs Browning (2/1), Troppo Veloce (11/2), Coldhardstare (8/1), Ice Star (10/1), Alula's Star (11/1), Sea Anemone (11/1), Time Fo Orchids (14/1), Marigold Hotel (16/1), Good Queen Bess (18/1), Bon Vivant (20/1), Flowerbomb (20/1), Cold Fact (20/1), Miss Daisy (20/1), Global Thunder (20/1), Full Velocity (22/1), Bomber Girl (28/1), On Cue (28/1), No Filter (33/1)

GOOD QUEEN BESS is a fair way in front of these formwise and tops the shortlist. Ice Star could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Alula's Star could also figure.
