Forecasts

Liam's Lass (11/4), Little Miss Daisy (7/2), Papa Delta (6/1), Three C's (8/1), Classy Cailin (10/1), Flying Sakhee (10/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (12/1), Sea Tea Dea (14/1), Reformed Character (20/1), Hilight (20/1), Illustrious Spirit (22/1), Rapid Rise (25/1), Exousia (25/1), Aegean Legend (25/1), Compton Prince (25/1), Golden Deal (33/1), Sussex Spirit (33/1), Crimson Princess (50/1)

The application of cheekpieces for the first time can see LIAM'S LASS register her first victory in this big field handicap. The selection has run well on her two most recent starts and can get the better of the veteran Compton Prince who should appreciate this step back up in distance. Hat-trick seeing Little Miss Daisy can take third on her turf return.
