Forecasts

Eglish (13/8), Affable (4/1), Sister Lola (5/1), Rosie Rock (8/1), Santa Catarina (10/1), Chicago Lightening (12/1), Pretty Smart (14/1), Clarinbridge (14/1), Cisne (20/1), Malaysian (25/1), Twins For Joy (28/1), Angel's Thunder (50/1), Bella Rosetta (150/1), Belle Femme (200/1)

Cases can be made for several but having found one too good for the third successive occasion, EGLISH gets the verdict to come out on top dropped into claiming company for the first time since leaving Ado McGuinness. Stablemate Sister Lola, Affable and Pretty Smart head up the dangers in that order.
