Forecasts

Floral Splendour (4/5), Mars Magic (4/1), Queen Of Ipanema (15/2), Banphrionsanaluas (11/1), Mutalaaqy (11/1), Dolly Gray (14/1), Derrymore Boy (22/1), Rumailah (22/1)

FLORAL SPLENDOUR found the step up to listed level too much at Haydock 4 weeks ago, but she'd won her maiden by a wide margin there the time before and can defy a penalty in what looks a weak novice. George Boughey has a 38% strike rate with 3-y-o newcomers in the last 12 months, so Queen of Ipanema is feared most.
