Forecasts

Mollys Glory (1/1), April's Moon (15/8), Ally Cay (13/2), Clady Bridge (10/1), Belville Babe (16/1), Darcys Hill (20/1), Kittys Fashion (28/1), All About Maddy (28/1), Keep It Tucked Inn (66/1), The Jam Girl (250/1)

Verdict

APRIL'S MOON sets a decent standard here and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account on the back of her good Ballinrobe third. Gavin Cromwell's well-related newcomer Belville Babe could be the one to provide the biggest threat, especially if the market speaks in her favour, while Ally Cay appeals as the pick of the remainder and rates a solid place prospect.
