Forecasts

Happy D'ex (7/4), Elle Perfecta (3/1), Choice Of Words (7/2), Robyndeglory (5/1), Vera Verto (6/1), Bay Ambition (15/2), Rose Of Kalanisi (11/1), Rebel Early (22/1), Kate Ill Know (33/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for Gordon Elliott's HAPPY D'EX to get off the mark over fences. Bay Ambition looks the chief threat if none the worse for her recent fall at Clonmel. It's too soon to suggest Choice of Words won't replicate her hurdle form over fences and she may prove best of the rest.

  1. HAPPY D'EX (FR)
  2. BAY AMBITION (IRE)
  3. CHOICE OF WORDS
