Forecasts

Last Empire (85/40), Light Refrain (4/1), Chocoya (5/1), Ventura Diamond (7/1), Mountain Brave (8/1), Gale Force Maya (10/1), Zim Baby (12/1), Last Surprise (18/1), Fairy Dust (20/1), Rosie Powers (28/1), Queen Kahlua (40/1), Lady Maura (125/1)

MOUNTAIN BRAVE has plenty of speed and she looked better than ever at Doncaster last time. She was seen to best effect that day but could get a similar lead here and she might be difficult to peg back. Chocoya looks the biggest danger having just been touched off at this level at Chelmsford last time. Queen Kahlua has a bit to find on her French form but she could improve for her new yard.
