Forecasts

Hermosa (11/8), Pleasurable (11/4), Tarnawa (7/1), Gold Memory (9/1), Bodhicitta (14/1), Enticed (14/1), Engles Rock (16/1), Ploughland (33/1), Tough Tigress (33/1), Only The Brave (40/1), Lady Of Luxury (50/1), Mi Esperanza (66/1), Any Other News (66/1), Vineyard Sound (100/1)

The Aiden O'Brien duo of Enticed and Hermosa must be respected as the trainer had no less than nine earmarked for this contest and has decided on this pair. They could be over-shadowed however by the Dermot Weld-trained TARNAWA who makes her debut here for her trainer who is two wins and two places in this race in the last six renewals. Pleasurable from the Jessica Harrington yard and Gold Memory could go well at bigger prices.
