Forecasts

Coco Mademoiselle (15/8), Realisation (5/1), Theonewedreamof (15/2), Getbazoutofhere (9/1), Malaita (10/1), Regal Renaissance (11/1), Similar Story (11/1), So Said I (14/1), Game On For Glory (22/1), Eximia (25/1), Shakeyatailfeather (28/1), Autumn Return (28/1), Trapista (66/1)

A case can be made for most of these but it's still hard to side against COCO MADEMOISELLE who looks to start life in handicaps on a very good mark and can go one better than her promising chasing debut Worcester second. Realisation also has better days ahead of her and heads the list of dangers, with Irish-raider Theonewedreamof, Similar Story, So Said I and Shakeyatailfeather in the picture too.
