Forecasts

Spy (5/2), Tickling (11/4), Charlie Brow'n (4/1), Nancee Spain (11/2), Share The Treasure (10/1), Wayside Lady (11/1), Silkies Sib (16/1), Gudrun Genberg (16/1), Highway Sixty One (25/1), Shakita (50/1)

CHARLIE BROW'N remains a maiden but he shaped quite well in a deeper handicap than this at Tipperary a month ago so he could be the answer. Tickling may yet have a bigger performance in her so is a threat, along with the quirky Spy.
