Forecasts

Happy Odyssey (9/4), Stay Classy (7/2), Lively Lydia (4/1), Molly Mai (9/1), Red Flower (9/1), Sonnetina (12/1), Dreaming Of Love (16/1), Toybox (25/1), Dotty Grand (50/1), Miss Vixen (50/1), Coach Trip (50/1), Obaby (66/1), Isla Skye (100/1)

The application of a hood for the first time can see STAY CLASSY get off the mark at the third time of asking in this competitive novice contest. The selection brings good form into this contest and can see off her rivals here with previous winner Happy Odyssey taken to finish best of the rest. Third place can go the way of Lively Lydia who showed promise on debut.
