Forecasts

Grizabella (3/1), Cherub Rock (3/1), Bayou Belle (10/3), The Rebel Breen (9/2), Vlad The Impaler (11/2), Sioux Princess (7/1), Raleigh Bridge (15/2), Serafina (8/1), Invincible Ourse (10/1), Eagles Perch (20/1), Madame Montgomery (28/1), Runhoney (33/1), Black Bridie (33/1)

GRIZABELLA shaped nicely on her Flat debut for this yard and showed a bit in a juvenile hurdle at Killarney recently, so gets the nod ahead of Cherub Rock, who arrives on the back of a solid showing. Vlad The Impaler is another one worthy of consideration.
