Forecasts

Spick And Span (2/1), Kings Keeper (2/1), Noble Birth (10/3), Tom McGreevy (7/2), Be Fierce (7/1), The Virginian (7/1), Doyenna (9/1), Watermelon Girl (11/1), Lethal Power (20/1), Finches Cross (33/1), Florey Spud (40/1), First Earl (50/1), Ashtarak (50/1), Little Big Rocky (50/1), Convertible (66/1), Barbaha Queen (100/1), Kilrush Scorpion (125/1), Black Pearl Johnny (125/1)

SPICK AND SPAN could be the way to go in this tricky maiden. She ran a blinder on her return here last month and can surely win races. Kings Keeper and Be Fierce are feared.
