Forecasts

Posh Trish (2/1), Schiaparannie (5/1), Grageelagh Girl (6/1), Jet Set (10/1), Cangodemayo (10/1), Vbadge Treat (14/1), Secret Escape (16/1), Nalinka De La Mare (20/1), Forget Me Knot (20/1), L'chamise (22/1), Miss Molly Mae (25/1), Much Too Much (28/1), Oriental Cross (40/1), Lady Marwah (50/1), Hollow Crest (50/1), Petronella Manners (66/1), Ceara Be (66/1), Fleur Du Pommier (100/1)

The concluding bumper can go the way of POSH TRISH who was the impressive winner from a subsequent winner in this sphere when winning a point-to-point on debut in early March. The selection can be given most to do by dual winner Secret Escape who is bidding to maintain her unbeaten record today while Schiaparannie can claim third on her fourth outing in bumper company.
