Forecasts

Pysanka (5/2), Louaizeh (3/1), Ghostly (13/2), Delvey (7/1), Mini Mildred (17/2), Carouselle (12/1), Moon Over The Sea (12/1), Baileys Warrior (22/1), Balmy Breese (25/1), Queenmambo (28/1), Ballet Blanc (66/1)

This represents a slight drop in class for MOON OVER THE SEA and as a previous C&D winner, he has a lot going for him. Pysanka looks ready for this trip and he's feared, with Louaizeh a potential improver.
