Forecasts

Between Waters (11/8), Golden Ace (7/2), Politacus (15/2), Kay Tara Tara (17/2), J'ventile (10/1), Bethka (16/1), Mistral Milly (18/1), Our Nel (18/1), Birdhouse (20/1), Spring Gale (28/1), Chesky's In Milan (28/1), Inion Tiogair (33/1), Mighty Moth (40/1), Whispering Gold (150/1), Tara's Light (150/1)

Verdict

POLITACUS is perhaps the percentage call on the back of her Uttoxeter near miss, although a strong market move for Nicky Henderson's point-winner Between Waters would put a slightly different slant on things. Kay Tara Tara may fare best of the previous winners, while Bethka and Our Nel are also respected after promising bumper debut efforts.

  1. POLITACUS (IRE)
