Forecasts

Aclass (18/5), Pleasureofpressure (4/1), Pebble Bleu (9/2), Maciver (7/1), Lady Nightingale (7/1), Roccabaker (17/2), Oogum Boogum (17/2), Amburana (10/1), Ardera Gun (10/1), Blossom De Mai (12/1), Mullanour (20/1), Fancy Prospect (28/1), Ilbdare (28/1), Chasing Crowns (40/1), Cruisin Susan (66/1), Glorious Singer (100/1)

PEBBLE BLEU won here at the end of November and a 4 lb higher mark may not stop her from following up given she's still rated some way below the pick of her chase form in this sphere. Pleasureofpressure also arrives on the back of a good effort here and is shortlisted alongside Amburana, who ran well behind the selection last time.
