Forecasts

Speculatrix (2/5), Fair Damsel (9/2), Love Like This (6/1), Spanish Maid (6/1), Ad Caelum (12/1), Between Friends (14/1), Broomfield Gale (25/1), Inch Alainn (66/1), Snugsborough Jc (80/1), Chapter Thirty (100/1), Breath Of Wind (100/1), Silver Mill (100/1)

SPECULATRIX has some fairly useful winning bumper form to her name so is taken to go in at the first time of asking over hurdles for her top yard. Fair Damsel and Love Like This appeal as the pick of those with experience and can chase home Gordon Elliott's newcomer in that order.
