Forecasts

Pleasurable (10/3), Fanny Blankers (10/3), Cozy Sky (7/1), Trueba (15/2), Bionic Tonic (8/1), Espirit D'Escalier (8/1), Chagall (9/1), Three Angels (10/1), Adapt To Dan (10/1), Dillygass (10/1), Boughtinthedark (11/1), Finsceal Rose (12/1), Clifftop (20/1), Blackstone Cliff (33/1), Storm Blitz (33/1)

Not many of these have captured much of the imagination as yet and the likes of Pleasurable, Espirit D'Escalier, and Dillygass all fit the bill as ones to be wary of despite having shown signs of ability. However, there may be more to come from BIONIC TONIC, who ran well behind some better rivals last time and she just edges the nomination as the one to be on with a minimum stakes play. Fanny Blanker showed improved form in a handicap last time and might be the one to give the selection the most to worry about.
