Forecasts

Misty Whisky (9/4), Northern Princess (7/2), Ellarna (9/2), Early Morning Rain (8/1), Madam Malina (12/1), Teme Spirit (14/1), Pogo I Am (16/1), Miss Delighted (16/1), Mick Mona (20/1), List One (25/1), Marlow Moss (25/1), Jaunty Soria (33/1), Lugg River (33/1), Saga Succes (33/1), Our Rockstar (100/1), Highland Way (100/1)

An open looking mares bumper in which a number of trainers are doubly-represented including Jamie Snowden, Henry Daly and Harry Fry. The market exchanges should provide some clues about some of the more interesting newcomers, namely Ellarna (Paul Nicholls) and Madam Malina (Warren Greatrex), whilst those with respectable previous bumper form include Northern Princess, Teme Spirit and Miss Delighted. However, the tentative nod goes to the well-related MISTY WHISKY who although unable to justify favouritism on debut at Aintree, shaped as if that initial racecourse experience would do her the world of good for the future (green).
