Forecasts

Bluenose Belle (5/2), Arab Cinder (7/2), Rikona (5/1), How Hard Can It Be (13/2), Sid's Annie (9/1), Ciao Adios (11/1), Crazy Maisie (12/1), Rockabill Angel (12/1)

HOW HARD CAN IT BE signalled she is ready to go in again when runner-up over C&D last time so is fancied to repeat her success of 12 months ago. Arab Cinder rates a big threat though on her first run for Mick Appleby, while in-form pair Bluenose Belle and Rikona can both have a say too in a competitive handicap.
