5/2

Foaled March 13. 140,000 gns yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Echo Beach and useful winner up to 1m Oddyssey. Interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

Cyclonite (2/1), Sunshine State (5/2), Foro Romano (13/2), Sir Palamedes (15/2), Dark Thunderstorm (12/1), Never Know (12/1), Lift Lady (18/1), Love Rock (18/1), Beauhaather (22/1), Telford (40/1)

FORO ROMANO found improvement when runner-up at Yarmouth last time and may have more to offer yet. He can get off the mark. Cyclonite looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst market support for Charlie Johnston's newcomer Sunshine State could prove significant.
