Forecasts

Poetic Lady (15/8), On Demand (2/1), Still Believing (9/2), Miss Mobot (5/1), Miss Spent (5/1), Over The Air (14/1)

A nice little pot up for grabs in this and the suggestion is ON DEMAND, who did well this time last year and should find this easier than the company she was keeping at the end of last season. Poetic Lady is improving and merits respect, while Still Believing could get involved and Over The Air is not ruled out if the headgear has a positive effect.
