Forecasts

Giselles Izzy (11/8), Cuban Rock (5/1), Protest Rally (11/2), Kyber Crystal (7/1), Missterious (10/1), Musical Diva (12/1), Astapor (12/1), Mews House (33/1)

Course specialist GISELLES IZZY can follow up from last week's 6f win here, her rider's claim almost completely offsetting the 5 lb penalty she's been handed for that win. Missterious showed improved form with headgear applied when runner-up over C&D earlier in the month and she's a danger once again, with Cuban Rock taken to round out the placings.
