Forecasts

Tiger Bay Queen (15/8), Smiling Bess (5/2), Russellsbelle (10/3), Disco Dancer (4/1), Late Vocation (5/1), Slip Jig (12/1), Fair Damsel (14/1), Aurora Gray Lady (22/1), Nelson's Lady (25/1), True Light (25/1), Book Early (25/1), Queen Of Seduction (25/1), Spanish Maid (33/1), Jampot Lane (40/1), Intertwine (50/1), Thequeenof Spikle (66/1), Sefarina (66/1), Silaire (80/1), Onebrightbluerose (250/1)

TIGER BAY QUEEN put up a useful performance when winning a listed bumper last spring and while she's not been seen since, she could easily outclass these on hurdles debut fitted with a hood. Smiling Bess and Russellsbelle set a fair standard.
