6/1

Forecasts

Storm Goddess (8/11), Ninth Wave (6/4), Liz's Dream (6/1), Manofthemountain (16/1), Getaway Mission (28/1)

A very winnable maiden hurdle in which STORM GODDESS boasts the strongest form-based credentials. She has improved race by race and scaled new heights (in the context of this race) when chasing home Mega Yeats at Wetherby on Boxing Day. The forecast conditions should be to her liking with Ninth Wave most feared.
