Forecasts

Cicely (5/4), City Escape (5/2), Scarborough Castle (9/1), Eltham Palace (10/1), Irv (12/1), Marquis Of York (14/1), Headshot (16/1), Captain St Lucifer (22/1), Sammy Sunshine (33/1), Reversion (33/1), Connie R (50/1), Endofastorm (100/1)

CICELY made a positive start for her new stable when runner-up to City Escape over C&D last time and, with cheekpieces applied, she is fancied to turn the tables in a race that the pair might well dominate. Eltham Palace is also considered.
