Forecasts

Prince De Juilley (5/4), Tankardstown Diva (9/4), Touchwoodexpress (3/1), Arctic Angel (14/1), Katana (33/1), Needtoknow (40/1)

Just the six runners but a trio of last-time-out winners in opposition make for an intriguing contest. TANKARDSTOWN DIVA was arguably the most impressive of them on just her third start for Tom Ellis at Market Rasen last week and is fancied to make a bold bid to follow up under a penalty. Last year's winner Prince de Juilley did the job well himself at Stratford 5 days ago and is next best, ahead of Newton Abbot scorer Touchwoodexpress.
