Forecasts

Queenohearts (11/8), Danse Idol (5/2), Papagana (11/2), Indefatigable (13/2), Shantung (8/1), Meep Meep (10/1), Off The Hook (40/1), Poperinghe Ginger (50/1)

Papagana sets the standard on form, but there are some unexposed mares pitched against her and slight preference is for DANSE IDOL, who looked good when scoring on her hurdling debut and hails from a stable which does well in this sphere. It may be dangerous to underestimate Shantung after her Lingfield win, while chances can also be given to Indefatigable and Queenofhearts.
