Forecasts

Run For Mary (2/7), Vic's Little Miss (6/1), Fulysse (7/1), Flying Mary (14/1), Silvretta Schwarz (14/1), Laureate (20/1), Flame Of Hope (20/1), Nancy D'Alton (25/1), Do Ya Feel Lucky (33/1)

Verdict

This is a pretty poor contest overall so dual bumper winner RUN FOR MARY surely needs only get round to land the spoils. Trying to find alternatives is difficult, perhaps once-raced hurdlers Silvretta Schwarz and Fulysse can improve enough to make the frame
  1. Run For Mary
  2. Silvretta Schwarz
  3. Fulysse
