Forecasts

Azure Angel (9/4), Shades Of Summer (9/2), Premiere Beauty (13/2), Holy Fire (15/2), Cuban Breeze (9/1), She's Centimental (9/1), Loch Carron (14/1), California Gem (14/1), Ormolulu (16/1), Mile End (20/1)

Roger Varian's AZURE ANGEL made an encouraging return from an absence when fourth at Windsor and this low-mileage filly can resume winning ways at the chief expense of Kempton second Holy Fire. Ormolulu and Cuban Breeze need factoring in too.
