Forecasts

Juncture (5/2), Mehnah (11/4), Smile Of Love (10/3), Surrounding (17/2), Don't Tell Claire (11/1), Illuminazione (14/1), Voice Of Angels (16/1), Neptune Rock (20/1), Sistine Madonna (22/1), Miramis (25/1), Zaajirah (33/1), Ha Ha Ha (40/1), Believeinmiracles (66/1), Iva Feeling (66/1), Eastern Wind (125/1), Tartan Skirt (150/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Ger Lyons' upwardly-mobile filly SMILE OF LOVE is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride and complete a hat-trick. Course winner Mehnah has the form to play a part along with C&D scorer Juncture, while dual winner of this event Surrounding can't be ruled out either.
