Forecasts

Redhotfillypeppers (6/5), Missy Tata (7/4), Moyhenna (5/1), Dawn Shadow (8/1), Oh Me Oh My (33/1), Sweet Destination (50/1)

MISSY TATA can follow-up last months chase debut success with a victory in this mares Grade 2 event. The selection had shown good form over hurdles for this yard a couple of years ago and can see off Redhotfillypeppers who is another with decent hurdles form. Third place can go to Moyhenna who was placed in a Grade 3 event earlier this season.
