Forecasts

Water Sprite (5/2), Blazing West (3/1), Annamatopoeia (3/1), Monbeg Rose (9/2), Zipporah (7/1), Native Lass (16/1), Tb Broke Her (16/1), Wild And Wonderful (25/1), Windsor Higgins (33/1), Coral Pearl (50/1)

ANNAMATOPOEIA has shown enough on several occasions over fences to suggest she can triumph in this moderate contest. Blazing West looks to be on the upgrade and could give the selection most to do while Water Sprite looks likely to come out best of Gordon Elliot's pair.
