Forecasts

Luckinthecity (2/5), Ballinvasas Best (13/2), Garnacho (7/1), Boston Beach (12/1), Finnicky Filly (14/1), Glyde Ranger (22/1), Pepperpots (28/1), Next Week (33/1), Arthur's Victory (50/1), International Lady (100/1), Storm Steps (100/1), A Year Older (125/1), Ryoma (125/1), Susie Wosie (150/1)

LUCKINTHECITY has achieved a fairly useful level in bumpers and may not need to replicate that form to make a winning start over hurdles in a weak race. Garnacho and Ballinvasas Best have both shown a bit of promise and could be the pair to fill the places.
