Forecasts

Surprise Party (7/4), Duchess Of Paloma (10/3), Lady Blunt (9/2), Beira (7/1), Scarlett Heart (15/2), Annewithan E (17/2), Pepper Tree (11/1), Red Sparrow (20/1), Rejuvenate (20/1), World Heritage (28/1), Party Punch (80/1)

SURPRISE PARTY looks the best in this field following a very good recent second and earns the vote. Pepper Tree looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Rejuvenate is another to bear in mind.
