Forecasts

Arts Of War (7/4), Runaround Sioux (7/4), Next Trick (5/1), Granary Queen (13/2), Hello Miss Lady (7/1), Storm Valley (18/1), Beautiful Dawn (25/1), Lockdown Lass (125/1)

STORM VALLEY did well for this yard last year so remains of interest having likely needed her comeback 3 weeks ago. It looks significant that connections are persevering with the well-bred Arts of War back from an absence so she may emerge as the biggest threat on handicap bow. Granary Queen is another who is expected to benefit for her recent return.
