Forecasts

Capricia (15/8), Steady The Ship (11/4), Diamond Rose (10/3), Ar Mest (6/1), Champagne Terri (9/1), Storm Rising (25/1)

A combination of the switch to fences, new headgear and more positive tactics enabled STEADY THE SHIP to get his career back on track when seeing off Diamond Rose and five others over C&D last time. This 6 lb higher mark should be manageable, particularly with improvement possibile. Capricia probably would've won had she not exited at the third-last at Leicester and Martin Keighley's charge is next on the list ahead of Ar Mest.
