Forecasts

Verdict

Having finished runner-up to Milkwood from 5 lb higher in this race a year ago, ANNA BUNINA's claims from a handicapping perspective are pretty compelling with a back-to-form third at Musselburgh last month strengthening her case. West Cork and Onemorefortheroad have already shone in good-quality handicaps this term and head the opposition.
