Forecasts

Min Till (7/4), Falesia Beach (9/2), Aquamas (9/2), Grey Belle (6/1), Miss Calculation (6/1), Pepsi Cat (9/1), Queen Of Burgundy (14/1), Port Noir (16/1), Lilikoi (16/1), Bungley (20/1), Independent Beauty (28/1), Sid's Annie (33/1), Areille (40/1), Callsign Phoenix (150/1)

Marginal preference in a trappy handicap goes to GREY BELLE who was just edged out over C&D last time and is only 1 lb higher here. Falesia Beach is feared most on the back of her good Kempton second ahead of in-form duo Min Till and Port Noir.
