Forecasts

State Of Fame (11/4), The Grey Monty (10/3), Female Approach (10/3), Ladiam (7/2), Single Edition (7/1), Golden Armour (14/1), Beavis (16/1), Bookem Danno (40/1), Nouliak (50/1), The Hogan Stand (50/1), Blackstone Cliff (50/1), King Gresel (80/1), Ashtarak (100/1), Coburg (150/1), French Hill Garcon (150/1), Courthill (150/1), Saint Bernadette (250/1)

The return to a longer trip may help FEMALE APPROACH who gets a narrow vote ahead of Ladiam, who has been knocking on the door in similar events. The Grey Monty is another who should go well in a maiden hurdle lacking depth.
