Forecasts

Lady My Lady (5/4), Gale Force Nine (7/2), Sheezarocket (11/2), Bel Giocatore (13/2), The Mightiest (15/2), Flying Reign Storm (17/2), Lemon Scent (25/1), Bluegrass Bella (28/1)

LADY MY LADY looks marginally the pick of this bunch but this is an open race. Bel Giocatore seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Flying Reign Storm can win the battle for minor honours.
