Forecasts

Bold Emperor (10/3), Burlesque Queen (7/2), Shanavoun Lady (4/1), Eagle Moon (9/2), The Great White (6/1), Desire De Joie (12/1), Gotthenod (16/1), Sizing Malbay (28/1), Masterstonemason (28/1), Think Positive (40/1), Vic's Little Miss (50/1), Cratloe (66/1), Famous Escape (80/1), Aa Bee See (100/1), Wavelength (100/1), Handsworth (100/1), Atalanta's Gold (200/1)

A few in with chances here but preference is for BURLESQUE QUEEN, who offered plenty to work on when third on her chasing debut over C&D 3 weeks ago, left with too much to do and finishing with running left. With improvement on the cards, she could prove tough to beat. Eagle Moon's chase bow is easily excused so he gets the vote for second, ahead of Shanavoun Lady.
