Forecasts

Little Miss Dante (6/4), Mermaids Cave (7/2), Easy To Follow (5/1), Rialannah (8/1), Sedge Wren (9/1), Could Be Trouble (10/1), Kay Tara Tara (16/1), River Robe (22/1), Vicki Vale (25/1)

A case can be made for all of these but James Owen continues among the winners and his MERMAIDS CAVE is taken to resume her progress after a break and bag a fourth victory for the yard. The handily-weighted Kay Tara Tara is feared most starting out for a new stable after breathing surgery, while Could Be Trouble, Little Miss Dante and Vicki Vale all need factoring in too.
