Forecasts

Livano Bello (15/8), Kaviar Wood (5/2), Fairly Fulling (4/1), Top Flight Century (9/1), Mr Globalist (14/1), Heritier (14/1), Miss Friday Lions (16/1), Mr Rumbalicious (25/1), Balranald (33/1)

A few of these arrrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for LIVANO BELLO to build on his recent second here now reverted in distance and get off the mark. Lizzie Quinlan saddles both Heritier and Mr Globalist and they could emerge as the main threats to Micky Hammond's top-weight in that order. David Thompson's new recruit Top Flight Century completes the shortlist.
