Forecasts

Champers Elysees (5/6), Pearls Galore (3/1), Soul Search (5/1), Romantic Proposal (10/1), Rocket Science (14/1), Auxilia (16/1), Tango (20/1), Parent's Prayer (22/1), Precious Moments (33/1), Faire Croire (40/1), Lady Scathach (50/1), Miss Myers (66/1), Eden Quay (80/1)

PEARLS GALORE and Champers Elysees are firmly on the up and could well dominate this event, with the first-named marginally preferred on the back of a convincing handicap success at Cork last month. Soul Search is the pick of the remainder.
