Forecasts

Shona Kirsty Yves (5/2), Maggie Smith (7/2), Chelsea Flower (7/2), Sky Cafe (11/2), Inevitable (13/2), French Princess (9/1), Rugger Lover (16/1), Nonoti (20/1), A Time To Dance (20/1)

Verdict

CHELSEA FLOWER has been in decent form of late and should give backers a run for their money. Sky Cafe is a viable alternative, while Shona Kirsty Yves also commands a second look.
