Forecasts

Bridge Street (5/2), Thefaithfulindian (3/1), Feathered Gold (5/1), Beechmount Maisie (6/1), Kingsgate (7/1), Musical Ava (9/1), Saucy Yeats (12/1), Fainche (14/1), Aunty Audrey (14/1), Gargouille (16/1), Command Chain (16/1), Crackaway (20/1), Zinat (25/1), Union Rock (25/1), Fairy Orchard (25/1), Baile Mhuirne (40/1), Secrets De Famille (50/1)

BRIDGE STREET is less exposed than most she meets here and ran just about her best race to date when third at this venue 23 days ago. That may not prove her limit and she gets the nod to come out on top in a race lacking depth. Kingsgate is similarly low-mileage and feared most, ahead of Thefaithfulindian and Beechmount Maisie.
