Forecasts

Instit (6/5), Telmesomethinggirl (5/4), Choice Of Words (6/1), Skyace (6/1), Brides Hill (7/1), Pont Aval (20/1)

About as strong a mares' beginners chase as you could hope to see, with TELMESOMETHINGGIRL- the best of these over hurdles- fancied to get off the mark in this sphere at the second attempt. Instit wasn't given a hard time on her chase bow and is open to signifiant improvement, whist Brides Hill has already developed into a useful performer and shouldn't be ruled out.
