Forecasts

Knights Gold (5/2), Ornately (16/5), Tolerance (11/2), Mamma Maria (6/1), Penelope Valentine (9/1), Blewburton (12/1), Hush Puppy (14/1), Juba (16/1), Coeur Jaune (18/1), Standput (18/1), Cardinal Point (18/1), Rokuni (25/1), Sofian (28/1)

ORNATELY created a good impression when making a winning handicap bow at Wolverhampton in February and this well-bred filly is one to keep on the right side of. Knights Gold stepped up on his return with a narrow win at Kempton 11 days ago and is feared most. Tolerance and Mamma Maria look best of the others.
