Forecasts

Monsieur Patat (13/8), Dakota Power (7/4), Spirit Of The Rose (2/1), Lady Ava (4/1), Overnight Oats (6/1), Port Noir (13/2), Forever A Diamond (7/1), Sarakana (25/1)

The finish may be dominated by 3-y-o fillies SPIRIT OF THE ROSE and Forever A Diamond, with preference for Clive Cox's charge who is 0-5 but she was just touched off at Haydock last time and a deserved first taste of success is on the cards. Forever A Diamond is now 1 lb below her last winning mark and is feared greatly with conditions likely to be in her favour (good form on fast ground in 2023). Port Noir is taken to claim minor prize money ahead of Monsieur Patat.
