Forecasts

Speckled Meadow (10/3), Bear Profit (9/2), Purring Along (8/1), Shoot To Kill (17/2), Swiss Army Officer (17/2), Asisaid (9/1), Redemptive Power (10/1), Nibras Rainbow (11/1), Wrist Art (14/1), Saith Seren (16/1), Private Officer (16/1), Blue Poppy (16/1), Star Of Atlantis (20/1), Relevant Range (22/1), Well Suited (22/1), Nosey Anna (25/1)

Verdict

Given her pedigree and connections, BLUE POPPY surely has a bigger effort in her and now she goes handicapping with headgear on, a leap forward may well be forthcoming. Speckled Meadow is the solid option, with Asisaid also of some interest.
