Forecasts

California Dreamer (1/6), Snapretend (17/2), Bella Isabella (9/1), Electric Beauty (12/1), Alice Monet (18/1), Sweet Bay (33/1), Faithlegg Lodge (33/1), Sottsands (66/1), Alumni Lia (66/1), Mischievous Millie (100/1), Madam Zen (200/1)

CALIFORNIA DREAMER has been campaigned solely at Group level since her close second on her course debut last spring and should prove hard to beat with her sights lowered on return. Electric Beauty should have more to offer on the back of last month's C&D third and might be the one to follow Adrian Murray's charge home. Bella Isabella has a useful pedigree and it would be no surprise to see her leave last autumn's turf debut behind.
