Forecasts

Bellissime (8/11), Montassib (5/1), One Over Par (7/1), Kats Bob (7/1), Fayathaan (12/1), Tommy Tittlemouse (18/1), Oh So Quiet (28/1), Let's Be Honest (50/1), Meisterzinger (66/1), Thornaby Pearl (80/1), Alive Wire (150/1)

BELLISSIME was pitched in at the deep end on her debut in the Lowther, yet acquitted herself with plenty of credit in midfield as she stayed on. Open to improvement on the back of that, she can capitalise on the marked ease in class. Kats Bob has made a solid enough start to his career and along with newcomer Montassib, heads the dangers.
