Forecasts

Miss Collada (11/10), Mister Mcgregor (7/2), Lovestruck Romeo (5/1), Sun Petal (15/2), Enola Holmes (11/1), Zoulu Warrior (25/1), Roysdelight (28/1), Liricist (150/1)

MISS COLLADA was nicely on top at Wolverhampton recently and may be able to defy the penalty. Lovestruck Romeo is open to progress on the back of his Brighton debut fourth, while his stablemate Enola Holmes and Andrew Balding's Mister McGregor are newcomers to note in the betting.
