Forecasts

Party Central (11/10), Purple Mountain (2/1), Impervious (7/2), Annie G (4/1), Glan (7/1), Call Me Dolly (14/1), Sit Down Lucy (20/1), Bellaney Gem (50/1)

IMPERVIOUS looks a useful hurdler in the making and can take this step up in grade in her stride and make it 3-3 in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's pair Party Central and Glan should both go on improving and need following. Annie G could also make her presence felt.
