Forecasts

Sweet Sonata (6/5), Piranha Rama (9/4), Over Spiced (3/1), Cindy Lou Who (7/2), Juba (9/2), Beautiful Things (7/1), Off The Bench (8/1), Hardlass (28/1), Lady Dorchester (50/1)

CINDY LOU WHO has few miles on the clock and wasn't beaten far on her debut for new connections at Windsor earlier this month. Improvement may be forthcoming and she is taken to land the spoils. Piranha Rama and Over Spiced, who won 2 days ago, rate the principal dangers.
