Forecasts

Look To The West (9/4), Bioluminescence (9/4), Magic Dawn (5/1), Paggane (11/2), Sainte Baol (9/1), Instant Tendance (16/1), Armed And Fabulous (16/1), Imperial Class (20/1), Ashdale Flyer (40/1), Jekiki (40/1), Hill Rocket (100/1), River Robe (100/1), Del Girl (150/1), Angelofthemorning (150/1), Good Time Belle (150/1), Spyfall (200/1), Fire Coral (200/1), Sydney Cruiser (250/1), The Belmont Girls (250/1), Highland Dew (250/1)

A very open-looking mares' maiden and before the benefit of market clues, BIOLUMINESCENCE gets the tentative nod having displayed plenty in a bumper when last seen during the spring. Paggane has to command respect on hurdles debut for Willie Mullins, with Magic Dawn perhaps the pick of the Gordon Elliott quartet.
