Forecasts

Mighty Meggsie (4/5), Georgina Burgess (6/1), Aubretia (13/2), Shanacoole Dasy (9/1), Joan Of Pimlico (10/1), Millies Mite (11/1), Glory Breeze (14/1), Lighthouse Lady (14/1), Maricruz (18/1), Dawn Of The West (22/1), Clady Bridge (22/1), She Is A Contender (25/1), Euroclydon (25/1), Sweet Justice (33/1), Maska Du Morvan (50/1), Kabin Fever Too (150/1), Elusive Point (250/1)

MIGHTY MEGGSIE showed improved form after 7 months off when a close second at Tramore 12 days ago and sets a clear standard. Dawn of The West showed ability on the Flat so is one to note on return/hurdles bow, while Aubretia is a player on the pick of her form.
