Forecasts

Manala (11/4), Broomfield Gale (9/2), Rockola (5/1), Briery Butterfly (5/1), Nobody's Perfect (11/2), Versace Twentyone (7/1), Game On Babe (9/1), Varinia (10/1), Amberelli (18/1), Miss Pearl (18/1), Ici La Reine (22/1), Edna E Mode (40/1), Lake's Aventurine (50/1), Dontworrywegotthis (150/1)

Handicap debutantes GAME ON BABE, Manala and Amberelli could be the ones to focus on, in that order of preference. The market should be revealing where that trio are concerned and Manala, who represents the title-chasing Dan Skelton yard, will likely attract plenty of support but Game On Babe shaped well on her second run over hurdles at Taunton and this fast-track into handicap company could pay dividends. Rockola could be the pick of the more established performers.
