Forecasts

Beautiful Affair (11/8), Heather (9/4), Princess Of Saxony (8/1), Sweet Illusions (17/2), Calrissiana (14/1), Love Sonnet (14/1), Bridezilla (20/1), Denim And Diamonds (33/1), Electric Beauty (40/1), Pekan (40/1), Heaven's On Fire (50/1), De La Cruz (50/1), Go Flo Jo (80/1)

HEATHER is bred to be smart and gets the nod to make a winning debut before market clues. Calrissiana has the form to be in the thick of the action if bouncing back from a laboured effort over C&D recently, with Sweet Illusions another to watch closely in the betting having already shown some promise in a barrier trial.
