Forecasts

Buy The Dip (2/1), Mbappe (5/2), Alabama Anna (7/1), Essme (15/2), Luna Queen (9/1), Havana Smoke (11/1), Cuban Harry (12/1)

The thriving MBAPPE can defy the handicapper again and make it 3-4 for the year. Unexposed Harry Charlton handicap newcomer Alabama Anna is feared most ahead of last month's Brighton scorer Buy The Dip.
