Forecasts

Isabella Giles (7/4), Double Or Bubble (11/4), Bounce The Blues (10/3), Axana (4/1), Meu Amor (11/2), Parent's Prayer (10/1), Jouska (18/1), Huboor (28/1)

It could be worth chancing German-raider AXANA, who looked better than ever when making a winning return in a listed event at Hoppegarten and is already twice a winner at this level. Rockfel-winner Isabella Giles should prove better for her return and is a player despite a 5 lb penalty, while Double Or Bubble is most progressive.
