Forecasts

Two Shoe Tom (11/4), Cosa Ban (11/4), Owenacurra Lass (7/2), No Memory (5/1), Flirting Lesa (13/2), Fresh Appeal (12/1), Red Iron (20/1), Drumbar Millie (66/1)

OWENACURRA LASS has a good chance at these weights if performing anywhere near the level she showed last season and gets the nod on her reappearance. Cosa Ban is likely to be sharper with her Limerick reappearance behind her and can provide the chief threat ahead of Two Shoe Tom.
