Forecasts

Awesome Shirocco (2/1), Polla Milano (9/4), Via Rosa (11/2), Aspen Fior (8/1), Belle Lurette (11/1), Georgina Burgess (14/1), Canigoagain (18/1), Dazzling Dove (22/1), Decadio Lady (40/1), Whatareyouupto (50/1), Rednecked Woman (66/1), Dardedze (80/1), Madaboutmadde (250/1), Haypusher (300/1)

A winner of a point in December, POLLA MILANO ran to a fair level when third in a Thurles bumper on Rules debut 4 weeks ago and can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top here. Awesome Shirocco, who has plenty of experience, Aspen Fior, and Via Rosa head up the dangers.
