Forecasts

Our Valentina (13/8), Conquer Gold (3/1), Reivers Lodge (4/1), Miss Tiggy (7/1), Beyondtemptation (14/1), Barely Black (18/1), Side Of The Road (20/1), Olivia Joan (33/1)

Verdict

As is often the case with these type of races, this isn't the deepest contest. Recent Ayr winner Miss Tiggy is likely to be involved despite the step up in trip this afternoon from just a 4lb higher mark, but this race should go to the first time visored Irish mare OUR VALENTINA. She was successful in stronger company on Northern Lights Finals Day at Carlisle earlier this month, and J.J.Slevin retains the ride seeking a winner on his first ever ride at Gosforth Park.
  1. Our Valentina
  2. Miss Tiggy
  3. Reivers Lodge
