Forecasts

The Truant (3/1), Mr Rango (4/1), Lamprog (11/2), Sequoiaspirit (13/2), Spring Morning (13/2), Red Ball Of Fire (15/2), Komedy Kicks (8/1), Maxine (17/2), Gonetomillgrove (14/1), Stellar Storm (14/1), Bring Us Paradise (22/1), El Tren (25/1), Circus Act (25/1), Queen Of Seduction (28/1), Ysobel (33/1), Millford Sound (40/1), Purdey's Gift (50/1), Indy System (50/1), Party Moon (66/1), War Thunder (100/1), Big Belief (125/1)

The really interesting one is STELLAR STORM, who stepped up on her debut effort when fourth at Bellewstown recently and there should be more to come from this well-bred filly now that she's pitched into a handicap. Last-time-out winners Mr Rango and The Truant are live dangers, while Lamprong is also in with a shout and Sequoiaspirit is not dismissed off a workable mark. Red Balls of Fire will also be a threat, if she gets a run.
