Forecasts

Turquino (11/10), Bajan Blue (3/1), De Ville (7/2), Pyrotechnic (11/2), One Million Dreams (12/1), Razzo Italiano (200/1), Admiral Fitz (250/1), Jysuis (300/1)

Little depth to this and DE VILLE showed enough in a strong novice at Sandown in April to get the vote. Debut-winner Bajan Blue is the obvious threat but she does have a penalty/absence to defy.
