Forecasts

Desert Raider (11/8), Notre Dame (10/3), Terratino Fire (9/2), Come On You Spurs (7/1), Maverick Style (15/2), Sapphira (20/1), Nevzilla (20/1), Majolica (33/1), Flocon (80/1), Rosadilly (100/1)

DESERT RAIDER improved to open his account over C&D last time and, while there wasn't much to spare, his pedigree gives him the scope for further progress, so he takes preference over Notre Dame, who finished to good effect over 6f here in November. Come On You Spurs has the potential to improve for the longer trip, so she's a notable nursery debutante.
