Forecasts

Outgun (9/2), Celebrating Ethel (5/1), Fascinating Lips (5/1), Pink Lily (6/1), Lunario (7/1), Dream Pirate (17/2), Night Breeze (12/1), Al Baahy (14/1), Lawn Ranger (14/1), Raqraaq (18/1), Kitaro Kich (40/1)

PINK LILY arrives on the back of a career-best win at Bath 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with the runner-up under this rider, so looks a solid option. Outgun and Fascinating Lips remain on tempting marks and they head the dangers.
