Forecasts

Zim Baby (7/4), Mina Velour (2/1), Never In Paris (5/1), Princes Des Sables (11/2), Kindly (20/1)

A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for ZIM BABY who suffered a very poor run when a strong-finishing third at Pontefract last time and can get her compensation here off the same mark. Mina Velour has more to offer for Julie Camacho so she heads the dangers with Never In Paris feared too on the back of her excellent third in the Ayr Bronze Cup.
