Forecasts

Twayblade (16/5), Carmarthen (9/2), Second Collection (6/1), Sisters In The Sky (7/1), Firenze Rosa (15/2), Vaunted (8/1), Savannah Smiles (10/1), Ash Wednesday (10/1), We're Reunited (14/1), Outer Edge (20/1), Pannonica (20/1), Bonny Power (40/1), Colors Of Freedom (100/1)

Plenty with chances but FIRENZE ROSA still looks ahead of her mark under a 4 lb penalty for her impressive Brighton success so edges the vote. Ffos Las runner-up Twayblade appeals as the one to give the veteran mare most to do ahead of Carmarthen, Savannah Smiles and Second Collection.
