Forecasts

Hiupinthesky (15/8), Princess Midnight (5/1), Belmont Jewel (11/2), Lady Longshot (6/1), Multigifted (7/1), Lee Side Lady (11/1), Nicely Done (16/1), Dharma Rain (25/1), Pennies And Pounds (25/1), Spirit Of Rome (33/1), This Lovely Lady (40/1), Strangsmill (66/1)

A modest start to the card and only handful arrive in solid enough form to merit consideration. Lady Longshot is likely to be one of the most popular options given that she goes well fresh and might improve further for this step up in trip, while Hiupinthesky is introduced to handicapping at a very modest level and won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to take the principle role. Belmont Jewel posted a respectable effort last time out and is another worth bearing in mind for a place in the frame. However, PRINCESS MIDNIGHT has proved that she copes with this sort of trip and is forwarded as the most interesting contender for a sporting punt this time.
