Forecasts

Miss Herschel (8/11), Club Class (5/2), Brielle (7/2), Aeolian (5/1), Princess Rascal (6/1), Ferrari Gold (18/1), Rock Music (40/1)

PRINCESS RASCAL had a bit up her sleeve when going in at Salisbury so edges the vote in this tight-knit novice. Club Class chased home the selection there and could again prove the chief threat ahead of Miss Herschel, Brielle and Aeolian.
