Forecasts

Jackie Oh (11/8), American Sonja (7/4), Caernarfon (4/1), Royal Dress (16/1), Villanova Queen (16/1), Sparks Fly (20/1), Enfranchise (20/1)

JACKIE OH is a clear stand out on form and, although the others have a fitness edge on her, her class can pull her through returning from 9 months off. American Sonja is a threat back on home soil and another solid showing from Sparks Fly and Caernarfon is expected.
