Forecasts

Night Bear (5/6), Mrembo (10/3), Oriental Art (5/1), Gallimimus (15/2), Pride Of Nepal (17/2), Eloso (14/1), A Poet's Secret (14/1), Kitten's Dream (22/1)

MREMBO was a three-time scorer in 2023 and she looks weighted to regain the winning thread off a 1 lb lower mark than when runner-up over C&D last time. Gallimimus didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth that day and is rated next best ahead of in-form pair Night Bear and Pride of Nepal.
