Forecasts

Aryaah (15/8), Mucuna (11/4), Gargle (4/1), Girl Inthe Picture (13/2), Rochebrune (12/1), Birkie Girl (12/1), Hold The Press (25/1), Kharshuf (33/1)

The manner of MUCUNA's recent Salisbury success suggests she could have more to offer over this sort of trip so she's selected to make light of a 4 lb rise. Aryaah has shaped quite well when reaching the frame in her first 2 handicaps and is feared most ahead of Gargle, who was fourth to the selection at Salisbury.
