Forecasts

Ellabella (11/4), Macadam's Rock (7/2), Barrys Rock (4/1), Alice Milligan (15/2), Sir Dotti (8/1), Chica Power (10/1), Helen De Pourtales (12/1), Kaswarah (18/1), Designer Cailin (18/1), Nigg Bay (20/1), Zanabad (20/1), Caesar's Comet (28/1)

ELLABELLA arrives on the back of a career-best success here so is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise in the weights and complete her hat-trick. Helen de Pourtales can boast a C&D win and is next on the list ahead of fellow C&D scorer Designer Cailin.
