Forecasts

Jade De Grugy (2/7), The Big Westerner (5/2), Kala Conti (7/2), Tareze (12/1), Cottesloe Sunshine (18/1), Farfromnowhere (22/1), Magic McColgan (40/1), Ottizzini (50/1), Whatcouldhavebeen (100/1)

A very interesting maiden. JADE DE GRUGY and The Big Westerner have the potential to take high rank among this season's mares' novice chasers, with the former narrowly preferred. Kali Conti is very useful over hurdles herself and may prove best of the remainder.
