Forecasts

Spindleberry (13/8), Majestic Design (4/1), Pitwood Road (11/1), Iriskana (11/1), Pebble Bleu (11/1), Orinoco Flow (12/1), Lucky Viv (12/1), Annalecka (14/1), Miss Drussell (14/1), Dixies Girl (16/1), Lady Kate (16/1), Ma Bess (16/1), Caughtinaspell (28/1), Vicky Vallencourt (66/1)

It's hard to equate the point form on offer but it's safe to assume SPLINDLEBERRY and Orinoco Flow will be well prepared for this given the yards the represent, with marginal preference for the former given she won between the flags.
