Forecasts

Inflamed (5/2), Hermano Bello (3/1), Grace Plunkett (6/1), Treaty Of Dingle (8/1), Mr Kodi (10/1), Lexington Quest (11/1), Wallaby (12/1), Dark Side Division (16/1), Lafontaine (16/1), Boy George (18/1), Gifted Dreamer (40/1), Austin Taetious (80/1), Lightning Bug (100/1)

GRACE PLUNKETT has placed on her two most recent starts and she can reverse Kempton running with top weight Hermano Bello to take this competitive nursery event. The selection has a decent draw here and she is taken to break her maiden with Inflamed, a winner last time out capable of finishing third.
