Forecasts

Jon Riggens (9/4), Swift Flight (5/2), Notoriously Risky (11/4), Heavenly Power (10/1), Valhalla's Dream (11/1), Red Wasp (18/1), Mr Pc (22/1), Manizales (25/1), Mulgrave (33/1), Dots De Feetya (50/1), Blue Umbrella (125/1), Marali Shauday (150/1), Kilbhin Lady (300/1)

A few in with chances but preference is for NOTORIOUSLY RISKY, who has returned an improved model this season, and this looks an ideal opportunity for her to finally get her head in front back in maiden company. Jon Riggens has improved with each run so he's feared most on first start for his new yard, with Swift Flight next on the list.
