Forecasts

Below Deck (15/8), Protect The Dream (3/1), Sky Velocity (9/2), Light Of Day (9/2), Lady Luck (5/1), Kilmonivaig (5/1), Queen Of Jazz (7/1), Lily Of The Nile (9/1), Green Fame (14/1), Queen Ofthe Palace (25/1), Double Trade (50/1)

LADY LUCK's overall form just gives her the edge but will need everything to fall right. Green Fame seems the leading danger, while Queen Of Jazz is another with place prospects.
