Forecasts

Truly Enchanting (2/1), Easy Mover (4/1), American Bar (5/1), January (6/1), Fiery Lucy (7/1), California Dreamer (8/1), Barnavara (9/1), Grande Marques (11/1), Cradle Of Love (25/1), Varner (100/1)

Verdict

CALIFORNIA DREAMER probably exceeded expectations when fifth in the Albany last week and it can be argued she was a shade better than the result, to boot. In the hope this doesn't come too soon, she looks the way to go, for all there are plenty of promising rivals in opposition, notably American Bar and January.

  1. CALIFORNIA DREAMER
  2. AMERICAN BAR (IRE)
  3. JANUARY (IRE)
