Forecasts

Judge Frank (9/4), Daisy Roots (3/1), Absolutely Buzzing (9/2), The Spotlight Kid (13/2), Maith An Farhh (17/2), Raqraaq (9/1), Ceilidh (14/1), City Cyclone (18/1), Oriental Spirit (18/1), Roman Spring (20/1), Theworldsnotenough (22/1), Glencalvie (25/1), Forglen (80/1)

If able to back up last month's Chelmsford success now returned to turf, ABSOLUTELY BUZZING will have strong prospects of going in again off this 6 lb higher mark. Daisy Roots has won two of her last three starts and is an obvious threat, while Oriental Spirit is also seriously considered. Judge Frank needs a second look, too.
