Forecasts

Ornately (4/1), Graduated (4/1), Sibyl Charm (5/1), Dream Illusion (6/1), Blue Empress (13/2), Little She (10/1), Enchanted Way (10/1), Sheephavenbaystory (10/1), Maids Head (10/1), Suzette (18/1), Dance Recital (28/1), Boubou (50/1)

DREAM ILLUSION signalled she is ready to strike when a very good second over C&D last time out so gets the vote. Maids Head heads the list of dangers on the back of an encouraging recent fourth here, while Blue Empress and Enchanted Way can both have a say too in this open handicap.
