Forecasts

Regally Blonde (5/2), The Rebel Breen (11/4), Alice Diamond (6/1), Lemon Ice (7/1), Flash Of Dawn (8/1), Steps In The Sand (10/1), Tharif (12/1), Starlight Rose (25/1), Eagles Perch (25/1), Griseo (40/1)

REGALLY BLONDE progressed in each of her maidens and from a very fair opening mark, there's a fair chance that she will outclass these. Alice Diamond is more exposed but seems sure to give it another good go, with Flash of Dawn capable of better now upped in distance.
