Forecasts

Elegant Madame (2/1), Volatile Analyst (11/4), Clonmacash (4/1), Shoot To Kill (13/2), Solomon Coop (10/1), Anvika (10/1), Catherine Chroi (20/1), Glen Princess (25/1), El Bello (66/1), La Tulipe Noire (150/1)

Following near-misses over 1m here on her last two starts, ELEGANT MADAME is appealing back at 7f. Solomon Coop made a winning start for this yard in a maiden here recently and he is second choice ahead of Anvika, Clonmacash and Volatile Analyst.
