Forecasts

Betsen (5/2), White Clover (5/2), Emerald Harmony (7/2), Red Hugh O'Donnell (13/2), Pansy Poe (7/1), Tropical Shot (14/1), Germanese (18/1), Somptueuse (50/1), Romantic Samurai (66/1), Overdue Revival (100/1)

BETSEN possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to get off the mark in this maiden where several arrive with a question mark against them. Pansy Poe and Emerald Harmony appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home the selection in that order.
