Forecasts

Scarlet And Dove (13/8), Larquebuse (13/8), Et Dite (6/1), Sovereign Gold (7/1), Laura Bullion (12/1), Miss Pernickety (20/1), Buttons And Bows (28/1), Darrens Diamond (33/1), Feyan (40/1), New Money (150/1), Rosfoyle (150/1)

SCARLET AND DOVE acquitted herself well in a stronger event last time and can open her account. Larquebuse looks the obvious danger whilst Miss Pernickety may be the pick of the chase debutants.
