Forecasts

Dreamingandhoping (10/11), Gelee Blanche (13/8), Suil Alainn (13/2), Sweet Sixteen (7/1), Davitt Road Glory (8/1), Gargouille (11/1), Socially Distant (14/1), Toor Hawk (14/1), Junior Bee (16/1), Le Fou's Keep (33/1), Blossomfort Bay (40/1), Talevera (50/1), Chitchat Sally (50/1), Queensteel (80/1), Icee M B A (200/1), Jeremy's Princess (200/1)

GELEE BLANCHE found an extended 2½m all too much for her at Gowran last time and is perhaps worth one final chance back at 2m. Last month's Naas third Dreamingandhoping can provide the chief threat ahead of Davitt Road Glory.
