Forecasts

Derriana Spirit (2/5), Paper Roses (4/1), Iconic Belle (10/1), Drumochter (12/1), Madam Cloud (40/1)

A small-field affair in which the most appealing option is DERRIANA SPIRIT. She found the progressive Highland Hunter too strong on hurdles debut at Ayr (2m4f) last month, but acquitted herself well overall and should prove well suited by dropping back in trip. The soft/heavy ground is a major concern with regards the Musselburgh scorer Iconic Belle, so with Paper Roses making her seasonal reappearance the more speculative forecast shout is Madam Cloud.
