Forecasts

Wild Embers (18/5), Toota (4/1), Blue Empress (5/1), The Voominator (5/1), Up The Monk (6/1), Laurens Dream (6/1), Chasing Gold (13/2), Top Biller (9/1), Mission In Malton (10/1), Gesundheit (14/1), Fair Call (22/1), Mythical Isle (33/1), Bueno Nacho (40/1)

Little between the principals at these weights and Tim Easterby's TOOTA is taken to gain a deserved first victory on the back of a string of good efforts. Fellow in-form maiden Blue Empress heads the list of dangers, although Up The Monk, Laurens Dream and Chasing Gold also need factoring into this very open contest.
