Forecasts

Little Empire (1/1), Enzos Angel (7/1), Billy McGarry (15/2), Thoughtful Gift (8/1), King Sharja (11/1), Carey Street (12/1), Masterpainter (14/1), Fast Affair (16/1), Meng Tian (20/1), Odd Socks Havana (22/1), Plumette (28/1), Love Is A Rose (33/1), Cloch Nua (50/1)

A few with chances but Jack Jones' in-form mare THOUGHTFUL GIFT looks the way to go on the back of her very good Lingfield second. Masterpainter heads the list of dangers off a lenient mark, although in-form duo Carey Street and Plumette can also have a say in a competitive handicap.
