Forecasts

Zinat (2/1), Ashton Court (5/2), Paula's Prayer (5/1), Clody Valley (7/1), Clear Left (8/1), Final Orders (17/2), Papal Count (17/2), Majority Share (12/1), Crack On Corrie (12/1), Cousin Harry (16/1), Faerie Laws (20/1), Presenting Cody (20/1), Its Theway Forward (33/1), Molten Gold (33/1), Dayereh (80/1), Best Not Argue (80/1), Elusive Intrusive (100/1)

PAULA'S PRAYER came clear of the remainder when an improved second at Downpatrick 11 days ago and might not need to better that form to go one better. She's preferred to Zinat and Ashton Court, who battled out the finish at Clonmel recently, but most of the others are hard to make a case for.
