Forecasts

Cisco Disco (11/4), Rich Law No Law (7/2), Vazzy (4/1), Mass Gathering (11/2), What Adaay (17/2), Speedy Pix (14/1), Papal Bee (18/1), Ellabella (18/1), Cornice (33/1)

MASS GATHERING is in good order and generally contests stronger races than this, so she makes most appeal up against some generally woeful opposition. Rich Law Now Law looks a threat on the back of his encouraging nursery debut, while Cisco Disco can't be totally ruled out.
