Forecasts

Liveandletlive (11/4), Great Chieftain (4/1), Yaajooz (6/1), Worrals (15/2), Asimov (15/2), Phoenix Duchess (10/1), Charming Whisper (11/1), Alvesta (12/1), Tactical Control (16/1), Beauty Generation (22/1), Etretat (22/1)

WORRALS is from a good family and this opening mark looks reasonable judged on her recent success in a Goodwood maiden. She is the most appealing candidate, with Great Chieftain nominated as the main danger and the likes of Beauty Generation, Phoenix Duchess and Yaajooz are others to consider from an each-way perspective.
