Forecasts

Cristal Spirit (3/1), At First Glance (10/3), Perfect Moment (4/1), Manjaam (5/1), Candy Burg (6/1), Terrafirma Lady (7/1), Mac Kayla (7/1), Gang Warfare (17/2), Stacey Sue (10/1), Pride Of Pemberley (12/1), Heresmynumber (16/1), Man Of Steel (80/1)

Verdict

There should be better to come from TERRAFIRMA LADY now pitched into a handicap and faced with a stiffer test, and she tops the shortlist in an open-looking contest. Assuming that Cristal Spirit doesn't go to post (due to run at Plumpton on Sunday), Pride of Pemberley may emerge as the main danger, while Manjaam and Gang Warfare are others to consider.

  1. TERRAFIRMA LADY (IRE)
  2. PRIDE OF PEMBERLEY (IRE)
  3. MANJAAM (IRE)
