Forecasts

Max Of Stars (3/1), Lady Phoebe (10/3), Sugarpiehoneybunch (10/3), Beaune (6/1), Hickton (7/1), Captious Cantor (9/1), Wait And Hope (18/1), Anificas Beauty (40/1), Yurinov (50/1)

BEAUNE rates the pick of the weights on the back of a very good Ffos Las second recently so looks the way to go. Hamilton third Lady Phoebe is next on the list with Sugarpiehoneybunch, Hickton and Anificas Beauty all in the picture too.
