Forecasts

Nimitz (6/1), Sweetasever (7/1), Maison Bleu (7/1), Cloudy Miss (8/1), Gloves On (8/1), Blue Book (9/1), Milish (11/1), Magwadiri (12/1), Cascar Cavcha (14/1), Boy Charlton (16/1), Jills Back (16/1), One Liner (16/1), Discovery Lad (16/1), Olly's Folly (20/1), Shawami (25/1), Galuminous (33/1), Pedisnap (33/1), Rooney O'mara (33/1), Soft Kiss (33/1), Casuist (50/1)

SWEETASEVER returned to form when finishing runner-up at Hamilton last time out and Joseph O'Brien's charge can register her third career success off a mark 6lb higher than for her Navan victory last month. The selection finished well beaten behind Cloudy Miss at Bellewstown earlier this month and Michael Halford's filly, fourth last time out at Killarney is taken to finish second here ahead of Magwadiri who ran a decent race off this mark at the same track last time.
