Forecasts

Fancy Stuff (11/8), Gentle Connections (9/2), Emily's Choice (17/2), The Gambler (9/1), Nowinittowinit (10/1), Rory's Story (14/1), Smurfette (14/1), Cotton End (14/1), Stamina Chope (16/1), Admiral's Sunset (18/1), Oneway Express (20/1)

Verdict

FANCY STUFF landed a few tidy bets when bolting up at Stratford just under 3 weeks ago and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. She gets the nod ahead of chasing-debutante Emily's Choice, who won her first couple of starts over hurdles and can have a line put through her handicap debut at Uttoxeter 9 weeks ago (lost a shoe). Admiral's Sunset can edge out Rory's Story for third place.
