Forecasts

Argentine Tango (15/8), Ali Shuffle (9/4), Angel Numbers (5/2), Artista (11/4), Saucy Jane (5/1), Meelaf (15/2), Arduis Invicta (18/1)

Preference is for SAUCY JANE, who again impressed with her cruising speed when fourth upped to listed level at York last week and Jack Morland's filly can make it 2-2 at this venue. Her main threat may emerge from Ali Shuffle, who is in the same ownership as the selection but may have to surrender her unbeaten record. Argentine Tango can edge out Angel Numbers for third.
