Forecasts

Miss Agusta (11/8), Notkeepinyagoing (7/2), Armed And Fabulous (7/2), Mi Lucky Cailin (4/1), Late Vocation (12/1), One For Daisy (22/1), Saddle Her Up (50/1), Tropical Image (150/1), Smart And Sharp (250/1), Deramore Park (250/1)

MISS AGUSTA finished runner-up twice in bumpers last season and givne the yard she represents, is capable of winning a maiden hurdle against her own sex. Armed And Fabulous will doubtless show more this time, with Notkeepingyagoing another to consider.
