Forecasts

Instant Tendance (4/6), Jokers 'N' Clowns (10/3), Lazy Bones (6/1), Fortuna Favente (17/2), Smiling Bess (11/1), Miss Vivacious (33/1), Raynbo (66/1), Noriska De La Mare (66/1), Mayos Vendangeur (100/1), Curzon Queen (125/1), Good Time Belle (250/1), Crimlin Rose (250/1)

INSTANT TENDANCE sets a fair standard and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark unless point-recruit Jokers 'N' Clowns proves to be above average. Lazy Bones may prove best of the remainder.
