Forecasts

Banada Bridge (10/3), Mitiva (7/2), Chemdawg (5/1), Sayitfirst (13/2), Trim To Milan (8/1), Georgie's Gal (9/1), Nurse Garvey (14/1), C'est Rien (16/1), Princess Sophia (20/1), Leylani (20/1), Cottage Artist (28/1), Sceptred Isle (28/1), Bella Be Good (33/1), Fanta Magic (40/1)

CHEMDAWG showed much improved form when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Bellewstown and can go one better up only 2 lb. Banada Bridge and Sayitfirst are feared most.
