Forecasts

Bedtime Story (1/16), Exactly (17/2), Bubbling (10/1), Barnavara (14/1), Senna's Girl (80/1), Eastern Peace (150/1)

Aidan O'Brien holds all the aces here and his most exciting Frankel filly BEDTIME STORY gets a confident vote to go 4-4. Stablemates Bubbling and Senna's Girl both look to have better days ahead of them too and can chase home the selection in that order.
