Forecasts

Meleri (7/2), Rikona (18/5), Golden Chain (9/2), Big Bear Hug (7/1), Miss Bluebelle (8/1), Lethal Touch (10/1), Naasma (10/1), Kinrarra (11/1), Deceit (14/1), Mrembo (16/1), Miss Down Under (18/1), Midgetonamission (18/1), Long Time Comin (100/1), Emulation (125/1)

MISS BLUEBELLE took a big step forward on her handicap debut when going in at Chelmsford City and a 4 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent this well-bred Awtaad filly from following up. Ffos Las dead-heater Rikona also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list with in-form maiden Kinrarra well in the mix too.
