Forecasts

Rubenesque (2/1), Pepper Street (3/1), So Near So Farhh (4/1), Airmax (7/1), Cray (8/1), Angel Gabrial (9/1), Becky The Thatcher (14/1), St Andrews (20/1), Galileo's Spear (20/1), Forbidding (33/1), Cousin Khee (50/1)

Another competitive event and the suggestion is RUBENESQUE, who went close from this mark last time and is in the form of her life. Angel Gabrial should be in the mix again, with Becky The Thatcher a danger, Airmax a likely player and Galileo's Spear and Cray having each-way claims.
