Forecasts

Smexy (11/8), Thenandnow (10/3), Josh's Joy (9/2), Venosa (7/1), Bloom (15/2), Victorious Dream (16/1), Ballaghkeen (16/1), Killashee Warrior (28/1), Struck By Her (33/1), Wingit (50/1), Baahyeh (100/1), Zusanne (125/1), The Cosy Corner (150/1)

Aidan O'Brien's Wootton Bassett filly BLOOM catches the eye on paper and is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of form pick Smexy, who rates a major danger. Thenandnow, Josh's Joy and Venosa can fight it out for minor honours in an intriguing maiden.
