Forecasts

Dancingontheedge (15/8), Coillte Eile (7/2), Hay There Mona (11/2), Little Else (6/1), Fine By Her (8/1), Arctic Footprint (10/1), Kentford Mallard (16/1), Shantou Sunset (20/1), Gaia Vallis (33/1), Blue Suede Shoes (66/1), Martha Burell (80/1)

This stiffer test promises to suit DANCINGONTHEEDGE, who was doing her best work at the finish when third behind a couple of improving types over 20.6f here a couple of weeks ago. She is in good hands and is probably on a good mark. Last week's decisive Leicester scorer Coillte Eile is an obvious danger, while Hay There Mona and Fine By Her both make each-way appeal.
