Forecasts

Instant Appeal (11/10), Finsceal Annie (6/1), Punk Poet (15/2), Little Empire (8/1), Darkdeserthighway (17/2), Super Exceed (10/1), Vlhova (12/1), Amemri (16/1), Hugo's Girl (18/1), Everylittlestep (22/1)

EVERYLITTLESTEP's first visit here for more than 3½ years resulted in a decent third in a 14-runner handicap over 10.7f and, with this drop back in trip a potentally good move, she could be the answer. Instant Appeal also performed with credit when third here at this course last time and he is second choice. Finsceal Annie and Vlhova also merit respect, along with Darkdeserthighway, who was successful over 7f here recently.
