Forecasts

Chosen Hero (11/4), Kay Tara Tara (9/2), Lucky Rose (9/2), Country Lady (9/2), Mays Hill (5/1), Eliza Dolittle (10/1), Scarlet O'Tara (12/1), Princess Poppy (16/1), Golden Ace (16/1), Whispering Gold (20/1), Pearly Girl (150/1)

Most of the interesting ones aren't sure to relish the test of speed an AW bumper provides, with point-winner CHOSEN HERO given the tentative nod. Country Lady and Kay Tara Tara make plenty of appeal on paper in a race the market may guide.
