Forecasts

Sunshine Star (8/11), Ribbon Of Sea (3/1), Bintsaleh (6/1), Felicitas (11/1), Ladykirk (16/1), Alma Latina (33/1), Ruby Wedding (33/1), Sullom Voe (80/1), Corallience (80/1), Palomezcal (150/1)

A red-hot fillies novice chock-full with potential. Preference is for RIBBON OF SEA, who was still very rough around the edges when scoring on return at Wolverhampton last month and Charlie Appleby's filly looks sure to progress again. Sunshine Star showed plenty amidst inexperience when runner-up at Kempton on debut 6 months ago and she's feared most now upped in trip. Felicitas and Bintsaleh may both be involved, too.
