Forecasts

Astadash (9/4), Sagrada Familia (3/1), St Clerans (5/1), Theophile (11/2), Orchid Gardens (6/1), Grenadine (14/1), Apricot Rose (14/1), La Joya (20/1), Bells Of Thyme (20/1), On The Spot (50/1), Launch Her (66/1), Du Maurier (150/1), Van Wert (150/1), Tavrina (150/1), Little Sophie (250/1), Keepittoyourself (250/1)

Plenty in with a chance but SAGRADA FAMILIA is given a narrow vote as she has already shown herself to be a fair filly and this return to a longer trip should eke out some more improvement. Apricot Rose heads the list of dangers after her promising debut second at Killarney, although Astadash and Theophile are sure to make their presence felt too.
