Forecasts

Swiatek (15/8), Princess Of Gaul (10/3), Stormwatch (9/2), Keukenhof (13/2), Kinda Wonderful (11/1), Be Merry (11/1), Scarlet Macaw (20/1), She's My World (33/1), Trip To Maputo (33/1), I'm So Pritti (33/1), Festival Chic (40/1), Sohot Sowhat (50/1)

PRINCESS OF GAUL has a quite marked edge on form and shouldn't really be troubled on these terms. Keukenhof is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Swiatek is the third candidate.
