Forecasts

Rose Of Siena (11/8), Fancy Stuff (11/4), Chocca Mocha (5/1), Criquette (7/1), Belleloise (15/2), I Am Gonna Be (10/1), Don't Ask Me (11/1), Kilbarry Leader (12/1), Broomhill Daisy (12/1), Ruby Island (16/1), Tangiers (16/1), Paper Tiger (25/1), Pipers Cross (50/1), Bubbles'n'troubles (100/1), Izzy Bell (150/1)

ROSE OF SIENA stepped up from her debut when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Musselburgh and the 7 lb she receives from penalised-winner Fancy Stuff may prove decisive. Donald McCain has an excellent record with newcomers in bumpers so Chocca Mocha needs keeping an eye on.
