Forecasts

Queen Medb (3/10), Dragon Roll (7/1), Dandy Belle (10/1), Summerset (14/1), Hidden Spark (14/1), Queen Ryker (20/1), Instantaneous (20/1), Harvest Bow (28/1), Sunblessed (28/1), Social Graces (33/1), Scarlet Skis (33/1), Frischs Joy (33/1), Tosen Shauna (50/1)

There was plenty to like about the debut performance of the Ger Lyons-trained QUEEN MEDB when the Kodiac filly made late headway to finish a ½L behind a well backed Aiden O'Brien favourite at the Curragh last month and the youngster can progress here to land the opener. Dandy Belle is the only other with experience to take note of along with newcomers Sunblessed, Dragon Roll and Hidden Spark.
