Forecasts

Poplar Park (11/4), Queen Of Love (7/2), Key Worker (4/1), Ancient Wisdom (9/2), Cocomelon (6/1), Mountain High (7/1), Tuscan Star (7/1), Silver Parasol (10/1), Shes Everything (20/1), Ruby Rebel (33/1), Fetching Flyer (40/1), Lady Sabrina (50/1)

QUEEN OF LOVE looks to be the safest option. Cocomelon should be involved at the business end too, while Key Worker also needs a closer look.
