Forecasts

Naughty Nadine (7/2), Ruith Le Tu (18/5), Ey Up Its Jazz (5/1), Gun Dog (6/1), Mythical Star (13/2), Token Trader (7/1), The Ormer Gatherer (14/1), Becoming (14/1), Ruby Ruby (40/1)

Not a convincing bunch but NAUGHTY NADINE hasn't been with Mick Appleby long and unlike a few of these, with stamina for 7f proven, she receives the tentative vote back from a break. Mythical Star is capable of being competitive from this mark, particularly if settling down, with Ey Up Its Jazz another to consider.
