Forecasts

Smoky Mountain (11/8), Girl Racer (2/1), Eagle Eyed Tom (6/1), Flame Spirit (13/2), Intoxicata (14/1), Ocean Ridge (20/1), Dancing In Paris (28/1), Mane Man Boris (100/1), Musterion (125/1), Ella's Angel (300/1), Beechwood Isabelle (300/1)

SMOKY MOUNTAIN wasn't given a hard time when an eye-catching fourth at Southwell and can find the required improvement. Girl Racer is a likely-looking newcomer so must be feared, while Dancing In Paris and Flame Spirit are players if reproducing their debut form.
