Forecasts

Beauty Bella (5/4), Turbo Sprint (11/2), Roderick (7/1), Villemacho (9/1), Golden Days (9/1), Storm Eric (12/1), Royal Tribute (14/1), Arthur Rose (16/1), Eagles Whistle (20/1), Zahee (33/1), Eastern Capital (33/1), Rhasidat (40/1), Phoenix Princess (125/1)

C&D winner BEAUTY BELLA ran well starting out for this yard when fourth in a handicap over further here 23 days ago and with her rider taking off a handy 5 lb, she could be worth chancing to build on that with victory. Golden Days and Royal Tribute arrive in good form and are live dangers along with Turbo Sprint. Arthur Rose is another not to be giving up on.
