Forecasts

Westport Lady (1/2), Pike County (11/4), Batcio (4/1), Rian Thomas (8/1), Earth Sister (8/1), Mujadel (12/1), Oh So Frisky (20/1), Whatsafellatodo (22/1), Niamh's Oscar (25/1), Shimmy Shammy (25/1), Carlyle My Son (25/1), Oscaraldo (33/1), Chosen Flower (66/1)

With Pike County and Batcio the best of those with experience it may be better to follow the potentially exciting newcomers WESTPORT LADY from the Willie Mullins yard under son Patrick and the Gordon Elliott-trained Rian Thomas who could be equally popular in the betting for leading trainer/jockey bumper combination.
