Forecasts

Finsceal Annie (9/4), Martinelli (5/1), With Annie Luck (13/2), Thrifty Of Digby (15/2), Galician Girl (9/1), Little Lady Lucy (10/1), Hemight (10/1), Pandion Power (10/1), Bridge The Gap (20/1), Special Angel (25/1), Small Bucks (25/1), Sayfa Fad (25/1), Latin (28/1), Exceeding (33/1), So Diligent (40/1), Vittorio Micheli (50/1)

Based on LITTLE LADY LUCY's background/pedigree, she should be better than an opening mark of 61, so a chance is taken on her in an open-looking contest. With Annie Luck is a danger and another solid performance is expected from Finsceal Annie
