Forecasts

Melodic Motion (13/8), Mittens (2/1), Celestation (9/2), Luna Mare (7/1), Pernickety (8/1), Desert Way (12/1)

Verdict

This will probably revolve around Mittens and MELODIC MOTION; with the latter appealing as the one open to the most improvement at this new trip. The Ralph Beckett-trained filly edges the nomination as the one to be on this time around. Celestation could do no more than win her race at Chester last time out but, given the way the form is working out, she will do well to keep the principles at bay. Luna Mare is eased in grade and is respected. But she may be better off with a run under her belt.
