Forecasts

Blue Collar Lad (9/2), King Of War (5/1), Autumn Festival (5/1), A Pint Of Bear (11/2), Otago (17/2), Lahina Bay (9/1), Ya Rayah (9/1), Heer's Sadie (14/1), Mashaan (14/1), Zaltalla (14/1), South Kensington (18/1), Porfin (33/1)

Quite a few to consider but having landed a gamble at Chelmsford, SOUTH KENSINGTON can be readily her subsequent defeat at Lingfield and in the hope she's as effective on turf, is awarded the vote. King of War is a definite threat under a penalty, with Mashaan completing the shortlist.
