Forecasts

Kudasheva (9/4), Emily In Paris (7/2), Bella Bliss (4/1), Paidi's Passion (17/2), Menindee (10/1), Blenheim Belle (12/1), Kilashee (16/1), Presenting Doyen (18/1), Miss Agusta (25/1), Andyourbirdcansing (28/1)

KUDASHEVA looks to have been handed a lenient mark based on her win at Wexford last time and she's clearly the one to beat for all that Bella Bliss and Blenheim Belle represent formidable opponents.
