Forecasts

Deilginis (11/8), Silk Worm (5/1), Lady Mccabe (7/1), She's All Vintage (17/2), Amor Verdadero (10/1), Stucker Hill (10/1), Feyan (10/1), Lost Oscar (12/1), Broomfield's Oscar (14/1), Regina Dracones (16/1), Conquering Tara (18/1), Darrens Diamond (18/1), Kilganer Queen (33/1), Walking In Memphis (50/1), Halcyon Dreams (100/1)

DEILGINIS' mark looks generous given she was successful off fully 12 lb higher over fences when last seen in February so she could take a bit of stopping if ready to roll on her return. Gordon Elliott's Amor Verdadero and last month's Galway fourth Feyan may provide the chief opposition.
