Forecasts

She's Our Queen (5/2), Zofar Zogood (4/1), Ya Ya Baby (4/1), Noble Music (4/1), Mighty Mirage (5/1), Solene Lilyette (13/2), French Rain (12/1), Holy Roman Empress (14/1), Chrysalism (16/1), Leagan Gaeilge (20/1)

SHE'S OUR QUEEN looked a bit unlucky on her Leopardstown handicap debut 3 weeks ago and is selected to gain compensation now. Zofar Zogood has been runner-up on her last 2 starts and can give Johnny Murtagh's filly most to do ahead of Noble Music.
