12/1

Forecasts

Ashariba (11/4), Penzance (10/3), Fantasy Believer (13/2), Wadacre Gomez (13/2), Royal Approval (17/2), Romieu (17/2), Sea Legend (12/1), Storm Catcher (14/1), Borgi (18/1), Hosanna Power (22/1), Postileo (66/1)

A few with chances but ASHARIBA shaped well on her return when seventh at Epsom so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on her first go on tapeta. Penzance figures on a lenient mark so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Borgi and Hosanna Power.
