Forecasts

Cucklington (4/1), Midnight Bliss (5/1), Day Of Roses (5/1), Cabragh (6/1), Robinroyale (13/2), Cap Horner (7/1), Megaboost (17/2), Invicta Lake (9/1)

Verdict

Some of these aren't entirely straight forward but MIDNIGHT BLISS can be forgiven her lapse last time and can regain the winning thread under a jockey who gets on so well with her. Day Of Roses has a little to prove as well but looks a danger with Cucklington best of the rest if he can bounce back.
  1. Midnight Bliss
  2. Day Of Roses
  3. Cucklington
