Forecasts

Roses Queen (5/2), Fenno's Storm (11/4), My Newbrook Rose (4/1), Emma Prada (5/1), Justfortherecord (5/1), Kristian Goingwel (13/2), Calibrator (14/1), Seangoell (14/1), Betterask Jj (18/1), The Grey Guy (18/1), I'm On Snap (18/1), Johnnys Girl (22/1), Keep The Peace (25/1), Giftedtokate (33/1), Thedapperdoyen (33/1), Utmost Faith (50/1), Drishogue Boy (66/1)

EMMA PRADA was successful between the flags and has shaped better than the result on each of her hurdles runs, so she may well find enough improvement to defy an opening mark of 95. If she doesn't find the anticipated progress, in-form pair Roses Queen and My Newbrook Rose could be left to fight it out.
