Forecasts

Lady Jago (1/1), Jayapura (9/4), Hill Of Scarriff (5/2), Roebuck Bay (6/1), Calli Black (11/1), An Cailin Ciuin (14/1), Pismo Beach (14/1), Miss Kassiopi (50/1), Keppel Queen (66/1), Earcomessue (80/1), Gemi Cat (100/1), Alduni's Girl (100/1)

Those with hudling experience don't set the bar too high so this could rest between the newcomers with Dan Skelton's winning Irish pointer LADY JAGO taken to go in at the first time of asking. Stablemate Hill Of Scarriff, also successful in the poining field, could emerge as the main danger with another debutante Jayapura also in the mix. An Cailin Ciuin appeals as the pick of those with form on the board for minor honours.
