Forecasts

Molten Sea (7/4), Dingwall (9/2), Liberty Looming (5/1), Lady Phoebe (7/1), Mon Etoile (15/2), Stretch (17/2), Strike Rate (28/1), Scarbados (33/1)

MOLTEN SEA surely has more to come in handicaps for her leading stable so she can find the requisite improvement needed to defy this mark. Dingwall could relish this trip so is a threat, along with Lady Phoebe.
