Forecasts

Malrescia (1/2), Strength 'n Honour (4/1), Seagrave Fox (6/1), Acton Bell (10/1), Silverlode (16/1), Oh L' Amour (25/1)

MALRESCIA stands out on what she showed on debut at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, She's bred to need further ideally, but clearly has the speed to win one of these. Seagrave Fox should step forward from his debut, and Strength 'N Honour remains capable of better too.
