Forecasts

Life On The Rocks (5/2), Danehill Star (6/1), Desiderata (6/1), Strategic Fortune (13/2), Heretic (7/1), River Alwen (8/1), Port Noir (9/1), I Can't Believe (9/1), City Escape (10/1), Star Delta (12/1), Tarjamah (80/1)

CITY ESCAPE wasn't at her best in the C&D selling handicap won by Danehill Star earlier this month but she's a reliable performer on the whole and is taken to bounce back and notch her third C&D success of this year. Port Noir is another mare who is holding her form well and she is second choice ahead of Life On The Rocks and Strategic Fortune.
