Forecasts

Luxford (6/4), Hard Toffee (3/1), Hidden Dream (4/1), Mistress Nellie (9/2), Good Impression (8/1), Affluence (10/1), River Cafe (12/1), Steel Helmet (16/1), Outlaw Torn (16/1), Estibdaad (20/1), Far Cry (25/1), Muthraab Aldaar (25/1), Sea Tea Dea (33/1), Tidal Surge (50/1), Heaven Up Here (50/1), Harbour Sunrise (66/1)

Verdict

Mistress Nellie was better last time and although she's failed to back up a good run previously, has to be respected in a race lacking depth. River Cafe goes well here and her new trainer has done well with similar cheap purchases. Hidden Dream has an obvious chance to follow up on her first win but a narrow preference is for the well handicapped LUXFORD who hit the line strongly on his stable debut and this trip should prove ideal.
