Forecasts

Arts Of War (15/8), Wren House (9/4), Budding (6/1), Bas Bleu (7/1), Miss Monte Carlo (12/1), Private Getaway (14/1), Apostle (16/1), Hatadora (25/1), Turn Up The Heat (50/1), Last Empress (100/1), Moon's Reflection (100/1), Red N Blue Dream (125/1), Lovealot Bear (150/1)

Having shaped well in a back-end Newmarket novice, ARTS OF WAR wasn't seen to best effect when third at Southwell just under 6 weeks ago and sure to have more to offer, Roger Varian's filly gets the nod to make it third time lucky at the expense of Private Getaway, who got back on track when sixth here 2 weeks ago and she's not yet the finished article. Bas Bleu and newcomer Miss Monte Carlo and another couple worth keeping an eye on, also.
