Forecasts

Lone Star (4/5), Aazza (11/4), On We Go (5/1), Shesupincourt (7/1), Atomic Angel (10/1), Fiadh (11/1), Silver Coin (12/1), Just Jess (12/1), Lady Bowes (14/1), Howzat Hiris (50/1), Noble Affair (66/1), Nairobi Girl (80/1)

Verdict

LONE STAR has been much improved of late, making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts with another commanding victory at Ayr on Tuesday and, unpenalized for that success, she earns the vote. That said, fellow last-time-out winner Aazza was impressive herself when scoring over this sort of trip at Doncaster in January and is a big threat, ahead of On We Go.
