Forecasts

Patanita (6/5), Mystic Man (4/1), Tufton Avenue (9/2), Presenting Miranda (9/2), Churchman (11/1)

Having easily won her sole start in a point bumper, PATANITA is taken to defend his unbeaten record at the likely expense of Presenting Miranda, who has an eye-catching pedigree with jumping in mind. Tufton Avenue also merits consideration.
