Forecasts

Straight A (3/1), Fariha (11/2), Mereside Madness (6/1), Bella Taslina (7/1), Zaltalla (8/1), Oligopoly (10/1), Delicacy (11/1), Autumn Rose (11/1), Myal (12/1), Star Mind (28/1), Quick Away (40/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but the vote goes to STRAIGHT A who is fancied to take a step forward on his first start for the excellent Mick Appleby team and resume winning ways. Willie Haggas' returning Fariha remains unexposed and needs considering, while the handily-weighted Mereside Madness, C&D scorer Autumn Rose and top-weight Oligopoly are others to consider.

  1. STRAIGHT A
  2. FARIHA (IRE)
  3. MERESIDE MADNESS (IRE)
