Forecasts

Walk In The Brise (10/11), Dame Prestige (7/2), Jenny Flex (11/2), Iron Woman (10/1), Saratoga Lass (16/1), Premier Gale (20/1), Bluebell Diva (22/1), Denver City (25/1), Bombay Sapphire (28/1), Quaylago (33/1), Midnight Gold (66/1), Secret Bella (66/1), Jakes Dream (66/1), Covermeinsunshine (100/1), Whose A Diva (200/1)

WALK IN THE BRISE is from a good family and may well become the latest Willie Mullins-trained successful debutant in a race where the bar isn't set very high. Fellow newcomer Dame Prestige is a threat and Jenny Flex is the pick of those with experience.
