Forecasts

Yorkshire Lady (15/8), Imperial Express (4/1), Own Accord (9/2), Asteverdi (5/1), Golden Melody (6/1), Star Of Kilfrush (6/1), Volcanology (7/1), Blufferonthebus (11/1)

Verdict

YORKSHIRE LADY hasn't stood much racing in recent times but her return to action at Hamilton 11 days ago was a good effort and from the same mark, she looks the answer. Imperial Express performed with credit in a better handicap than this at Goodwood 3 weeks ago so she commands serious respect, along with Volcanology.
