Forecasts

How Lovely (6/5), Mahra's Love (2/1), Sunlit Uplands (9/2), Leo's Choice (14/1), Petula (25/1), Bint Elnadim Star (28/1), Pelean (33/1), Rosemary's Rose (100/1)

HOW LOVELY beat a subsequent winner in good style when making a successful debut at Southwell in October so looks the one to beat. Fellow penalised winner Sunlit Uplands landed the odds with some comfort at Chelmsford in December so rates the main threat ahead of Mahra's Love, who was beaten only by a useful prospect at Brighton on her return.
