Forecasts

Bloomfield (3/1), Black Ruby (9/2), Butterflies (9/2), Petticoat (11/2), Key To My Heart (7/1), Frima (10/1), Elizabeth Browning (12/1), Modern Approach (12/1), Elusive Duchess (14/1), Vociferous Marina (14/1), Furiosa (66/1)

Aidan O'Brien has won this twice in recent seasons and his BUTTERLFLIES can take this event having finished runner-up over 1m4f last time out. The selection wears blinkers for the first time today and she can get the better of stablemate Elizabeth Browning who has finished runner-up the last twice while the twice raced maiden Frima and Jessica Harrington's maiden winner Black Ruby are others to note in this.
