Forecasts

Philippa's Choice (5/2), Diamonds Galore (10/3), Dramatic Encore (10/3), Walkingtheline (8/1), Slack Alice (9/1), Barford Groover (11/1), Astra Luna (12/1), Vera Hobbs (25/1), Polkaface (28/1), Hidden Star (50/1)

This represents a good opportunity for DIAMONDS GALORE, who stepped up on what she showed first time out when finding just one too strong at Uttoxeter and should prove hard to beat. Dramatic Encore's introduction at Southwell was encouraging and, with improvement on the cards, she is preferred to Barford Groover and Walkingtheline for forecast purposes.
