Forecasts

Willow May (11/4), Luna June (3/1), Mark's Folly (3/1), Miss Heritage (5/1), Briery Express (10/1), Could You (20/1), Miss Rocher (25/1), Princess Midnight (33/1)

Verdict

Briery Express, Miss Heritage and Luna June are newcomers with nice pedigrees which also indicate they have a chance of coping with the conditions that face them here. Miss Rocher has a bloodline that defies the low amount of money it took to acquire her and her sire gets his share of bumper and heavy ground winners. For the selection MARK'S FOLLY is favoured to take advantage of her previous experience and her yard's good record in bumpers around here. She was sent off favourite for what developed into a sprint at Cheltenham a year ago and clearly has more ability than she was allowed to show that day.
