Forecasts

Humble Glory (2/1), Steak And Onions (5/2), Broomfield Hall (16/5), Downtown Queen (11/2), My Design (14/1), Reine Machine (14/1), Bonne Debut (18/1), Red As Rust (28/1), Majestic Jewel (40/1), Lily Of Dromard (40/1), Sulafaat (250/1), Grandma Foley (300/1), Getawaydreamer (300/1)

Despite being ignored in the betting, DOWNTOWN QUEEN showed plenty when runner-up on hurdles debut and with the third-place finisher that day successful since, the form looks solid. She can find the necessary improvement to see off Humble Glory and Broomfield Hall.
