Forecasts

Bint Queen Kindly (11/4), Chantez (3/1), Cercene (10/3), Copacabana Sands (15/2), And So To Bed (9/1), Barnavara (10/1), Atsila (11/1), Garden Of Eden (14/1), California Dreamer (18/1), Easy Mover (28/1), Mojave River (33/1), Nancy J (33/1)

BINT QUEENKINDLY may only have a maiden win to her name but she created a most-favourable impression in the process and bred to be smart, she may well be up to this level. Chantez is ready for 1m this season and looked promising in her own right last term, while Cercene deserves consideration having hit the frame in a Guineas trial.
