Forecasts

Delahoussaye (9/4), Accelerando (7/2), Alya's Gold Award (4/1), Leap Abroad (6/1), Say Grace (13/2), Madame Marmalade (15/2), Better Half (11/1), Exceling (11/1), Be Glorious (16/1), Bom De Briga (18/1), Miss Belladonna (22/1), She's Sophie (40/1), Ard Up (50/1), Been Heer Before (80/1)

ALYA'S GOLD AWARD has shaped with promise in three novice events and she should be able to take a step forward on her handicap debut off a competitive looking mark. Delahoussaye ran well over C&D at the end of September and he may bounce back today. Leap Abroad and Miss Belladonna aren't out of it either.
