Forecasts

Penny Pot Lane (5/1), Lady Celia (11/2), Rebel Redemption (11/2), Mark's Choice (7/1), Vintage Polly (7/1), Rasheeq (7/1), Gullane One (8/1), Music Therapist (14/1), War of Clans (14/1), Restless Endeavour (16/1)

A competitive finale with the vote in favour of LADY CELIA. Richard Fahey's filly is enjoying a good season on turf/AW and highlighted a return to this trip would possibly suit ideally when keeping on well for second at Hamilton (5f) latest. Vintage Polly and Penny Pot Lane are feared most, in that order.
