Forecasts

Al Sayah (11/8), Supreme Yeats (3/1), Iris Des Issards (10/3), Clearance (7/1), Bensini (15/2), Hillsin (9/1), Outside Adesa (10/1), Danton (12/1), Chabadatika (14/1), Fine By Her (20/1), Saucats (40/1)

This could go the way of AL SAYAH who returned from a break with an excellent second at Exeter and can now provide her in-form handler with another winner. Supreme Yeats resumes after an absence but has gone well off a break before so must enter calculations, while Iris des Issards, Chabadatika and Danton can all have a say too in this competitive handicap.
