Forecasts

Shearling (4/6), Whiteoak Stroller (7/2), It's All About Me (9/2), Floral Bouquet (16/1), Strands Of Velvet (20/1), Green Tikkana (20/1), Olivia Joan (33/1), Dudette (40/1), Katy Royal (250/1)

Having seen Shearling do wonderfully well in her three starts so far, they step her up in trip to see if she can find any extra and a third win is far from ruled out. Micky Hammond saddled the only runner to beat her and will have more idea than most about the respective merits of It's All About Me, while Olivia Joan could show more improvement and get involved. However, arguably the most interesting runner on the whole card is the last one listed, WHITEOAK STROLLER, who has a fabulous pedigree, represents and yard going well and has the four-year-old allowance to call upon and we will take her fitness on trust first time.
