Forecasts

El Fabienne (1/2), Doyen Magic (9/2), Western Princess (6/1), Rainbow Lily (9/1), Miss Mini Bee (14/1), Discussion (22/1), Mollys Kingdom (66/1), Knockarina (80/1), Little Green Lady (200/1)

EL FABIENNE has shown plenty between the flags, is from a stable knows well and looks the first string on jockey bookings, so he takes preference over Western Prince, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Doyen Magic, another point recruit, also has the potential to be above average.
