Forecasts

Rubiana (7/2), Cantkidakidder (9/2), Court Adjourned (9/2), Cappacon (6/1), Capture The Drama (15/2), Loch Luatha (17/2), Shanklys Dawn (17/2), Vic's Little Miss (12/1), Easy Cash D'Alex (14/1), Mlily (16/1), Mash Potato (28/1)

COURT ADJOURNED took advantage of a drop in the weights to finally get off the mark in this sphere at Sligo last month and remains on a fair mark on what is only her third start for this yard. Loch Luatha conceded first run when behind the selection that day so may finish closer this time, while Cantkidakidder ran his best race for a while when a clear second at Sligo.
