Forecasts

Whiteandblue (10/3), Waverley Star (6/1), Tantastic (6/1), Joshua R (7/1), Rose Bandit (15/2), Ramdon Rocks (8/1), Tathmeen (12/1), Secret Equity (12/1), Rockley Point (14/1), Latin Five (22/1), Amasova (22/1)

An open-looking contest, with WHITEANDBLUE taken to continue the good start she has made for her current yard and gain the first success of her career. The way that the filly went through the race here last time suggested that she should be suited by a return to 5f, so she can get the better of the in-form Waverley Star. Secret Equity completes the shortlist.
