Forecasts

Azazat (5/4), Unless (6/1), Didn'thavemuchtodo (13/2), Kerkiyra (8/1), Maxux (11/1), Alanya (12/1), Red Riding Hood (14/1), Lambada (16/1), Gozen (16/1), Flame Of Eire (20/1), Clever And Cool (25/1), Curvature (28/1), Any Dream Will Do (80/1), Getawiggleon (80/1), Pale Iris (80/1)

C&D winner KERKIYRA has the best form and, if blinkers perk her up, she can get belatedly make the breakthrough at this level. Azazat, in the same ownership, is a big player dropping back in grade and Unless should also be on the premises.
