Forecasts

Foxy Girl (3/1), The Model Kingdom (7/2), Magic Tricks (15/2), Flamborough (8/1), Conyers Hill (10/1), Media Naranja (11/1), My Gaffer (12/1), Common Practice (14/1), Ted Hastings (16/1), Coeur Sublime (20/1), Morning Soldier (25/1), Jeff Kidder (33/1), Anna Bunina (33/1), Hey Johnny (33/1), By Your Side (40/1), Royal Eagle (40/1), Sir Allen (40/1), Cozone (66/1), Little Mixup (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. FOXY GIRL shaped well on her first go in handicaps when a running-on third at Down Royal and can build on that here to gain her second hurdling success. Ted Hastings figures on a handy mark and could emerge as the chief threat to Henry de Bromhead's low-mileage mare, although a solid case can also be made for The Model Kingdom, Magic Tricks, Flamborough and Conyers Hill.
