Forecasts

Wichahpi (9/2), Glory Hyde (5/1), Dream Deal (5/1), Mersea (5/1), Starsong (5/1), Crocodile Power (11/2), Patontheback (6/1), A Girl Named Ivy (15/2), Quercus (22/1)

STARSONG arrives on the back of 3 placed efforts on turf and might be able to get her head back in front with Warren Fentiman taking 5 lb off her back. Mersea could pose a threat if reproducing the form she showed on AW earlier in the year. Glory Hyde is another capable of having a say.
