Forecasts

Fast Affair (3/1), Clipsham Gold (4/1), Dalrymple (5/1), Shalfa (11/2), Pink Lily (11/2), Nikki's Girl (7/1), Crazy Maisie (10/1), Devore (14/1), Moralisa (20/1), Lady Valentine (33/1), She's Out Of Reach (33/1)

DALRYMPLE shaped with plenty of encouragement at a big price on her first outing for this stable and, with more to come upped in trip, she's preferred to the more exposed Pink Lily, who scored again over C&D 22 days ago. Shalfa is also considered.
