Forecasts

Rapido Girl (10/3), Autumn Rose (5/1), Beveragino (5/1), Bella Kopella (5/1), Style Of Life (6/1), Just Rita (15/2), Starsong (9/1), Biplane (10/1), Liv My Life (22/1), Lockdown Lass (80/1)

STARSONG got right back on track when runner-up at Lingfield last time and this course winner can capitalise on a reduced mark here. Rapido Girl is feared most on the back of her good Newcastle second, with Bella Kopella another who can have a say now stepped up in distance.
