Forecasts

Lily's Gem (7/5), Miss Aloud (15/8), Aurora Thunder (11/4), Glorious Lady (5/1), Largy Princess (28/1), Orient Sunset (66/1)

A tricky opener which sees Richard Johnson and Brian Hughes go head-to-head in pursuit of the jockey's title aboard the upped-in-trip Irish raiders Miss Aloud (Gordon Elliott) and LILY'S GEM (Stuart Crawford). Both horses have had plenty of chances, with the latter admittedly more experienced over hurdles. Assuming she stays this 2m4f trip, Lily's Gem should have the edge over her unexposed stablemate Largy Princess. With the defection of Glorious Lady, Aurora Thunder is considered next best.
