Forecasts

Rouge Sellier (7/2), Andromeda (9/2), Galileo Dame (9/2), Beechwood (5/1), Romzina (9/1), Scarlett O'Hara (9/1), Belhaven (14/1), Enfranchise (22/1), Snowcapped (25/1), Shoda (25/1), Ob La Di (28/1), Nostringsattached (33/1), Bay Of Sanibel (50/1), Vischio (80/1), La Dame Blanche (80/1), Derida (100/1)

SCARLETT O'HARA only found an improver too good in France last time and she's worth a chance to make the breakthrough at listed level now. Rouge Sellier's Kempton win sticks in the mind and she remains with potential after an excusable run at Hamilton, so she's regarded as the main danger ahead of Enfranchise.
