Forecasts

Crack On Corrie (10/3), Gold Creek (5/1), Springfield Lodge (11/2), Reine Fee (11/2), Something Sweet (15/2), Trumps Ace (15/2), Peterstown (17/2), Killisk Ben Rose (14/1), Rare Deal (14/1), Johnnys Girl (16/1), Rosfoyle (33/1), New Money (33/1), Cloudy Day (80/1)

REINE FEE seemed suited by the return to 2½m when runner-up at Navan 26 days ago and a reproduction of that form may well be good enough to see her go one better here. Trumps Ace returned to form with a good third at Thurles recently and must enter calculations, along with Crack On Corrie.
