Forecasts

Slainte Mhath (10/3), Rock Melody (4/1), Catherine Chroi (11/2), Lady Celia (11/2), Mostar Dreams (7/1), Canaria Queen (15/2), Iris Dancer (17/2), Conservationist (17/2), Game Breaker (14/1), White Umbrella (22/1)

ROCK MELODY found a big-field Class 2 too much for her at the recent York Ebor meeting but won quite cosily over C&D prior to that and can show she's still on a good mark back in calmer waters. Last year's winner Iris Dancer is next on the list ahead of Conservationist and Iain Jardine's Mostar Dreams.
