Forecasts

Lady Alavesa (5/2), Elusive Heights (10/3), Tagur (4/1), Bawaader (11/2), Happy Face (7/1), Zeshov (12/1), Inner Circle (14/1), Betty Grable (16/1)

Verdict

Lady Alavesa ran her best race for some considerable time when finishing second over C&D last week, and should go close under the 5lb claimer Cian MacRedmond if in the same frame of mind. However, there's surely a race to be won in this grade (Class 6) with the frustrating ELUSIVE HEIGHTS. Roger Fell's seven-year-old was worn down close home over C&D recently and is fully expected to confirm placings with Bawaader (third). Of the remainder, both Happy Face and Tagur hold a realistic place chance.
