Forecasts

Butterfly Beach (6/5), Likeness (11/4), Rouane (13/2), Slay Queen (15/2), Romantic Twilight (14/1), Pimentel (25/1), Moonlight Mirage (28/1), Carefree (40/1), Lady Milton (50/1), Just Dreaming (66/1)

LIKENESS caught the eye doing some good late work when third to a subsequent winner at Kempton on her debut last month and can strike at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. Romantic Twilight showed much improved form when runner-up at Newmarket a fortnight ago and, with the performance supported by the timefigure, she warrants plenty of respect. Slay Queen and Butterfly Beach are others to note.
