Forecasts

Lorna Cole (6/4), Irene May (9/4), Bluebell Time (5/1), Ever Rock (6/1), Country Rose (12/1)

A trappy affair to begin proceedings, with an element of trust needed to have a degree of faith in any of these. Despite failing to beat a single rival this year, this is less demanding than the assignments Country Rose has been tasked with this year, including when stepped up in grade over C&D recently. Plenty more will have been expected from Irene May this season, but she has only had the four starts overall and is another one who will appreciate the drop in grade. We'll opt for the most in-form contender, that is LORNA COLE, who went agonisingly close in defeat last time when runner-up to a well-fancied sort last time & should be tough to beat if in similar form.
