Forecasts

Shimmering Dawn (15/8), Marly (4/1), Declaring Love (9/2), Quickstep Lady (11/2), Queen's Course (7/1), Amber Island (9/1), Ikigai (125/1)

SHIMMERING DAWN is a multiple course winner over 6f here but she is proven over this trip too. She bumped into a very progressive filly last time in the Wolverhampton qualifier and can book her own place for Good Friday here. Marly looks very interesting on her French form and shouldn't be far away if operating at the same level on her yard debut. Declaring Love looks best of the rest.
