Forecasts

Koko Blue (11/8), Ravenscraig Castle (5/1), Kameel (5/1), Game Management (6/1), Love You More (7/1), It's A Love Thing (11/1), Millbuie (12/1), Bridgefoot Rambler (18/1)

Having been placed on all 4 starts this season, KOKO BLUE is selected to open her account having paid for racing closest to the winner when third at Lingfield last month. Love You More's achilles' heel is her slow starts, but she can give the selection most to think about if on a going day, with Millbuie rounding off the shortlist.
