Forecasts

Madonna (6/5), Emphatic Answer (10/3), Sacred Rhyme (4/1), Halla Rince (14/1), Al Dhabi (18/1), Grey Angel (22/1), Aurora Princess (25/1), Sincerest (25/1), Nothingbuttrouble (28/1), Yourplaceermine (66/1), Madeline Hayes (66/1), Classical Memories (125/1), Princess Emma (250/1)

MADONNA showed plenty to work on despite looking green when third under testing conditions at Navan on debut just under 6 weeks ago. She gets the nod to get her head in front at the second attempt with improvement on the cards. Sacred Rhyme should progress from her first run and can chase the selection home, ahead of Emphatic Answer and Halla Rince.
