Forecasts

Barra Blue (15/8), Malago Rose (2/1), Lady Harriett (6/1), Lady's Present (8/1), Hurst Hill (9/1), Regally Blonde (12/1), Extra Cover (12/1), Misting (16/1)

Having improved when scoring on her handicap bow at Leicester, BARRA BLUE is taken to follow up here with a 6 lb rise in the weights unlikely to be enough to stop in her tracks. Lady's Present showed some spark on her second run following a lengthy absence and she is second choice ahead of Hurst Hill and Malago Rose.
