Forecasts

Congo River (5/1), Lady Tilbury (5/1), Silmaniya (5/1), Apricot Twist (5/1), Funny Money Honey (11/2), Malrescia (6/1), Coralillo (10/1), Tiger Paw (12/1), Thunderbear (40/1), Puffable (50/1), Smullen's Pride (50/1)

A very open listed contest but MALRESCIA has much less on her plate than when contesting Newmarket's Cheveley Park last time and is taken to resume winning ways. Apricot Twist could prove the main threat to George Boughey's filly, with Lady Tilbury, Silmaniya and Coralillo all shortlisted too.
