Forecasts

Strong Belle (6/4), St John's Road (2/1), Largy Force (3/1), Yorkshire Lady (10/3), Lady Alex (8/1), Snowrocco (18/1), Reine Des Tartes (80/1), Mivvi (250/1)

Verdict

STRONG BELLE looked a big danger when departing late on at Catterick just over 5 weeks ago and is fancied to make amends at the expense of St John's Road, who is open to improvement having found just one too strong on her recent hurdles bow at Newcastle. Hurdling-debutantes Largy Force and Yorkshire Lady can fight out third.

  1. STRONG BELLE
