Forecasts

The Forge Hill (11/8), Clounts Glory (13/8), Save Us Avis (7/1), Desert Heather (12/1), Trickalight (16/1), Scorpion Lady (16/1), Peggy Gordon (22/1), Messenger Girl (50/1), Lady Violet (66/1), Shesakeeper (125/1)

THE FORGE HILL lost out in her bid for a hat-trick of point victories when a late faller last time but is fancied to make amends and get off to a winning start in this sphere. Clounts Glory rates the obvious threat on the back of her recent Clonmel third, with Scorpion Lady als worth a second look having shown some ability in points.
