Forecasts

Ocean Diamond (9/4), Lady Pagasa (7/2), Authenticate (4/1), Prince Of Eyeries (13/2), The Bear Trap (7/1), Triangle D'or (17/2), Prince Of Love (14/1), Kwa Herini (14/1), Viamonte (20/1), Sea Of Beauty (100/1), Clifton Light (150/1), Eagles Whistle (200/1), Relaxed Zone (200/1), Heir Island (200/1), Windsor Road (250/1)

A chance is taken on debutante OCEAN DIAMOND, who ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and, needless to say, it will be noteworthy if she's strong in the betting, Lady Pagasa has had more chances than most but she has performed with credit on all three starts since joining present yard and should be on the premises once more. Authenticate is best of the rest.
