Forecasts

Elly Bay (7/2), Which Wolf Wins (7/2), Sanctijude (4/1), Echo Of Faith (4/1), Venetian Star (5/1), Sovereign Thought (6/1), Invincible Will (8/1), Luna Mia (9/1), Estoublon (12/1), The Holy Apostle (16/1), Sunrise Angel (22/1), Dunleer Dancer (28/1), Elora Prince (33/1)

This looks very open but ELLY BAY represents an in-form yard and is well handicapped on the level she achieved on debut, She's therefore awarded the tentative nod in favour of Echo of Faith and Which Wolf Wins.
