Forecasts

Miss Power (3/1), Celebration (7/2), Ostatnia (4/1), Go Kart (8/1), Oneoveryou (8/1), Split The Atom (10/1), Callender (12/1), Maarek (14/1), Ducky Mallon (16/1), Rivellino (33/1)

MISS POWER is the least exposed runner in this 5f contest and she can complete her hat-trick having won over 5f at Naas on good-to-firm ground earlier this month. The selection has raced from off the pace in the main and can get the better of one of the likely pacesetters Go Kart who was narrowly beaten by the selection at Naas last month. Ostatnia disappointed at Bath last month but ran better on her most recent start and can claim third on her return to handicap company.
