Forecasts

Dear Cat (2/1), Lady Chartwell (3/1), Private Island (5/1), Sofia The First (7/1), Bizou (8/1), Twilight Moon (10/1), Shadow River (33/1), About Last Night (33/1), Gloryous (66/1), On A Vespa (66/1), Kate Be Quick (200/1)

DEAR CAT has shaped encouragingly on both her starts to date and promises to be well suited by this step up to 7f, so she's taken to get off the mark at the third time of asking. Lady Chartwell perhaps found the race coming too soon at Newmarket last time and can be given another chance to build on a promising debut effort, with Private Island a well-bred newcomer to note in the betting.
