Forecasts

Polar Bear (5/6), Lady Tilbury (7/2), Trinity Road (7/1), Blue News (14/1), Kodihill (14/1), Distillate (16/1), Woman Chief (20/1), Cosmic Bella (28/1), Rumbled Again (40/1), Midnight Duke (50/1), Malbay Madness (80/1), Autumnal Breeze (125/1), Emperor Jade (250/1)

This can go to LADY TILBURY, who should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Dundalk debut last month. Polar Bear also ran well on his racecourse bow here and looks the obvious danger, whilst Distillate may be the pick of the newcomers.
