Forecasts

Hen Party (10/11), Wild Act (2/1), Grey Force (9/2), Alpine Culture (10/1), Cryingintherain (16/1), Anaba Girl (50/1), No Drama Mama (100/1)

The drop to 6f could suit WILD ACT and he's taken to leave his debut behind and prove too strong for Hen Party, who has the best form but is quite exposed after 5 starts. Cryingintherain and Alpine Culture are others likely to be on the premises.
