Forecasts

Redwood Queen (5/6), Lady Rita (2/1), Instant Tendance (4/1), Folly Beach (10/1), Presenting Doyen (20/1)

REDWOOD QUEEN has improved at a rate of knots in handicaps of late, progressing again despite failing to complete the 4-timer at Kilbeggan a month ago. It's hard to escape her claims on these terms, with Lady Rita offered for the forecast.
