Forecasts

Duty First (10/11), Shining Pearl (11/8), South Road (12/1), Who Wants Me (25/1), Silent Affair (40/1)

SHINING PEARL took a step forward from her debut when runner-up at Newmarket last month and with better still to come, Karl Burke's filly is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Duty First, who was given a considerate introduction first time up at that same venue recently. South Road is another who is open to progress, so she rounds off the shortlist.
