Forecasts

Lacila Blue (5/2), Bellaney Lord (11/4), Knocknacree (7/2), Bix Beiderbecke (4/1), Sunshine Girl (7/1), Captain Nelson (33/1), Desert Stranger (50/1), Bay West (100/1)

Verdict

Not a strong maiden hurdle with LACILA BLUE just about the most persuasive option having displayed improved form in handicap company last time. Bellaney Lord looks like a horse with problems so Bix Beiderbecke is offered up as the main danger.

  1. LACILA BLUE (FR)
  2. BIX BEIDERBECKE (FR)
  3. BELLANEY LORD (IRE)
