Forecasts

Santa Rossa (10/11), Manitopark (1/1), Dreamingandhoping (7/2), Lady Heath (6/1), Cathmart Desjy (18/1), Bealnablath (40/1), De Lady In Red (50/1), Roisins Ciara (50/1), Aspen Fior (80/1), Present Storm (125/1), Ask Blossomfort (125/1), Nurse Mairead (150/1), Thewayyouact (200/1), Hockworthy Flyer (200/1), Gerry's Dream (200/1), Cloudings Well (250/1), Lady Federici (250/1), Drumbaragh (250/1), Sumtinboutporter (250/1)

MANITOPARK AA pulled clear with a next-time-out winner at Fairyhouse in January, so she's taken to go one better with further improvement on the cards. Santa Rossa, a useful dual bumper winner back in 2018/19, appeals as the main threat following an encouraging start in this sphere 13 months ago. Dreamingandhoping can prove best of the remainder.
