Forecasts

Woodland Glade (7/2), Ladies World (4/1), Canford Queen (4/1), True Love's Kiss (9/2), Ideal Gift (7/1), Way To Burn (17/2), Theappleofmyeye (11/1), Ocean Palace (18/1), Thesupernovastar (18/1), Gelsomina (22/1), Duchess Of Gold (33/1), Top Ten (40/1)

CANFORD QUEEN is operating at a solid level lately and should make a bold show. Theappleofmyeye could provide the toughest threat, while Ladies World can't be ruled out of it either.
