Forecasts

The Birdie Crowe (8/11), High School Days (2/1), Joy's Gift (12/1), Blue Eyed Lucy (16/1), Realta Dawn (16/1), Amarillo Rose (28/1), Peggy's Acre (33/1), Whatsinaname (33/1), Presenting Court (33/1), Misskymdee (50/1), Adelena (66/1), Milan Diva (66/1), Bon Courage (66/1), Sing Que Sera Sera (66/1), Destination Debbie (66/1), Musical Ava (100/1), Superefficient (100/1)

A repeat of her hurdling debut should be enough to see THE BIRDIE CROWE take this opening mares maiden hurdle. The selection had chief rival here High School Days behind her on that occasion and they can finish one and two in this contest. Of the remainder Realta Dawn represents a leading yard and can claim third on her debut.
