Forecasts

Gold Jasmine (10/11), Chernish (5/1), Sevenaday (7/1), Man Of The Sea (8/1), Fox Hill (12/1), Sand Castle (14/1), Vineyard Sound (16/1), Han Solo (33/1), Blackstone Cliff (50/1), Tosen Aisling (50/1), Miss Wow (66/1)

GOLD JASMINE can land the opener here following a couple of solid runner-up spots at Leopardstown and Dundalk recently under jockey Colin Keane for trainer Ger Lyons. The filly appears to be some way ahead of rivals Sevenaday, Chernish and Man Of The Sea who can battle for the place positions here.
