Forecasts

Puntarelle (15/8), Time's Eye (2/1), Silver Nightfall (11/4), Ivy Avenue (4/1), Way To Amarillo (6/1), Margaret's Fuchsia (16/1)

IVY AVENUE was a fair triple winner on the Flat for Jim Bolger and could have more to offer for Mick Appleby. She takes on a field of 3-y-os here and could be the way to go. Chelmsford-winner Puntarelle is fancied as the main danger.
