Forecasts

Snow Punt (9/4), Moudan (3/1), A Nod To Getaway (9/2), Boston Bongo (5/1), The Sugarhill Lady (6/1), Road To The Weir (15/2), Makfils (8/1), Fernhill Fling (12/1), Simply Shabra (14/1), Vilja Song (25/1)

Having shown ability on each of her three starts in maiden company, THE SUGARHILL LADY has the look of a sure-fire improver now moving into a handicap off what looks a realistic opening mark. She earns the vote ahead of Snow Punt, who went down fighting in a big-field C&D handicap during the Christmas period and he will be a big threat if backing that up. Moudan is also shortlisted.
