Forecasts

Ice Station Zebra (10/11), Vitare (9/4), What Is Life (5/1), Raadea (25/1), Refuge (66/1)

ICE STATION ZEBRA only defeated Vitare by a head last week at Windsor and has to reoppose that rival on 7 lb worse terms. Ralph Beckett's filly is much less exposed though and she is taken to improve and confirm the form. What Is Life can't be discounted after her effort at Nottingham last summer but has a significant absence to overcome.
