Forecasts

Mustang Kodi (3/1), Holy Bee (3/1), Sands Fury (7/2), Artisan Bleu (6/1), Graces Quest (17/2), Reset Button (12/1), Stay Home (12/1), Baileys Warrior (25/1), Falmouth Queen (100/1)

HOLY BEE ran well at Yarmouth last week and she should have more to come now she steps up in trip. She should take all the beating. Stay Home could improve on handicap debut so warrants respect. Sands Fury isn't out of it either.
