Forecasts

Vinnie Is Busy (11/10), She Is Electric (15/8), Pale Blue Dot (5/1), Jumping Susie (8/1), Innellan Shore (10/1), Crossgaleschicflic (20/1), Nephin Beg (22/1), Sycamore Grey (50/1), Whip Whitaker (100/1), Snow Secret (150/1)

Verdict

SHE IS ELECTRIC holds the clear edge on form so Noman Lee's lightly-raced mare is taken to open her account at the chief expense of Vinnie Is Busy who is much respected back in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's hurdling newcomer Innellan Shore is not taken lightly either in a fair maiden hurdle.
