Forecasts

Medician Star (7/2), Rock And Royal (4/1), Duchess (5/1), Keen Interest (6/1), Premiership (10/1), Struck Gold (11/1), Available Angel (12/1), Red Evelyn (14/1), Havana Sky (14/1), Quickfire (18/1), Zelma (40/1), Empress Lulu (150/1), Amal (200/1)

ROCK AND ROYAL ran out a facile scorer over C&D last month and is worth forgiving her subsequent Ayr reversal so looks the way to go in a contest where plenty have a question mark against them. Medician Star is weighted to have a big say and next on the list with Duchess another C&D winner who can make her mark.
