Forecasts

Jumbly (6/4), Doom (9/2), Bluedrum (8/1), You Send Me (17/2), Vain Gloria (9/1), Magical Sunset (12/1), Wide With Delight (12/1), Gregarina (16/1), Valpolicella (40/1), Purple Love (100/1)

JUMBLY should be sharper with her reappearance in the Gladness behind her and can resume winning ways under Ryan Moore. Her new stablemate Valpolicella, a listed winner in Germany, may give her most to do ahead of the William Haggas-trained Doom and Paddy Twomey's unbeaten filly Vain Gloria.
