Forecasts

The Nipper (8/13), Peggies Venture (5/2), Naranja (4/1), Phoeniciana (7/1), Soiesauvage (12/1), Westerbee (20/1), The Golden Hour (50/1), Apalis (66/1), Spanish Queen (150/1)

The Nipper has her own ideas about the game at times but she retains plenty potential and has the best in the business on board to keep her straight here. Phoeniciana has done little wrong in two starts and can soon get off the mark but PEGGIES VENTURE has been fairly reliable in bumpers and her trainer should have her primed for her first look at some obstacles. With less quirks seemingly, she earns the vote. Westerbee won from the front here in November but faces a stiff task now conceding weight. 1. Peggies Venture 2. The Nipper 3. Phoeniciana
