Forecasts

Adelisa (5/4), Notre Belle Bete (13/8), Indian Sioux (11/2), Irish Chief (15/2), Knight Of Malta (12/1), Withbatedbreath (16/1), Wychwood Whisper (20/1), Roman Bull (33/1), Boxing Hero (33/1), Jazzy Dancer (40/1), Fairy Cliffs (66/1), It's Possible (80/1), Heer Today (100/1), Don'tsayaword (100/1), Thunder Canyon (200/1), Non Mollare (300/1), Dustys Highway (300/1)

NOTRE BELLE BETE has some solid form and was doing his best work at the finish when runner-up in a Cork maiden recently, so he might well be able to open his account back up to a trip that's more suitable. Adelisa is closely matched with the selection on form, so she's feared most ahead of newcomer Wychwood Whisper.
