Forecasts

Deeply Superficial (11/8), Battling Bessie (6/4), Law Ella (5/2), Franno (20/1), Littel Flour (28/1), Tullig Wood (33/1), Bella Be Good (66/1), Elsannah (100/1), Credit Control (125/1), Coco Lightning (150/1), Jewelinthesky (150/1), Go Cindy Go (200/1), Knockane Lady (200/1), Flemenora (200/1), Royal Diver (200/1), Ella Rose (250/1)

LAW ELLA showed plenty in bumpers last season, making a winning debut before second in a Grade 2 at Aintree, and looks a useful prospect for novice hurdles. Battling Bessie was also decent in bumpers so needs considering, while point-winner Deeply Superficial fetched plenty at the sales and is a likely type.
