Rosie Alice (3/1), Just Janice (4/1), The Birdie Crowe (11/2), Our Kylie (7/1), Hello Sweetie (10/1), Miss Eyecatcher (14/1), Gracemount (14/1), Holly Flight (16/1), La Bella Vida (16/1), Touch Of Gold (16/1), My Painter (16/1), Maudlin Magdalen (16/1), Pat's Oscar (25/1), Lily Yeats (25/1), Shaluna (33/1), Lilly The Lioness (33/1), Alaliya (33/1)

Plenty of these bring good form to the table. Hello Sweetie is improving quickly and although she may need a bit more here, she should go well. Our Kylie have been brilliantly placed by connections and a repeat of last year's win can't be ruled out. But the vote goes to top weight LA BELLA VIDA who is more versatile ground-wise than a few here and for whom this track should play to her strengths. Pat's Oscar needs a look in the market, and both Maudlin Magdalen and Just Janice need consideration in an open race.
