Forecasts

Shrewsbury Road (5/2), Feathertop (5/2), Jupiter Rock (4/1), Nostringsattached (6/1), Neptunes Staircase (10/1), Bay Of Sanibel (16/1), Hutton (18/1), Teorema (28/1), Lion Wait (28/1), Sioux Eagle (28/1), Wisdomofhindsight (50/1), Dorset Lady (66/1), Golden Ash (80/1), Barrogstown Girl (100/1), Maroon And White (125/1), Keilah (150/1), Ricky Bobby (150/1), Reel Her In (200/1), Neddies Boy (400/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. NOSTRINGSATTACHED holds the edge on form and is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success on the back of her good Ballinrobe second last time out. Jupiter Rock has progressed with each of his three runs to date and is feared most, although Shrewsbury Road, Dorset Lady and Feathertop all need factoring into this open maiden too.
