Forecasts

Storm Patrol (5/2), Dont Tell Val (7/2), Sweetlittlemystery (9/2), Reine Des Miracles (5/1), Cadeaux's Fire (6/1), Lady Valerie (8/1), Fortunello (10/1), All Currencies (12/1), Quine des Champs (25/1)

Verdict

The three carrying a penalty at the top of the card look the one's to beat with DONT TELL VAL narrowly preferred after a knuckling down well to win at Fontwell last time out and the second winning since. Lady Valerie won well on her only start and can continue to progress provided she's ready to go after a break and Sweetlittlemystery's form was franked in unconventional fashion yesterday when the second from her win at Towcester threw away a race at Fakenham when looking a sure winner but no doubt should have won. 1. Dont Tell Val 2. Lady Valerie 3. Sweetlittlemystery
