Forecasts

Regina Dracones (10/3), Norwigi (7/2), Tune The Chello (9/2), Minx Tiara (5/1), Gold Creek (6/1), Trickey Trix (10/1), Robyndeglory (11/1), Ciao Bella (12/1), Alohamora (12/1), Fairyhill Run (14/1), Fizzlestick (14/1), Daphne Moon (14/1), She's Commanche (16/1), Whatucallher (20/1), Lunch In Adare (20/1), Stockdale (20/1), Mis Clogher (20/1), Dinard Rose (50/1), Morga (50/1)

A tightly-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for NORWIGI, who gets into handicaps on a lenient mark and is fancied to follow up her ready Fairyhouse victory. In-form Ciao Bella is feared most on the back of her good recent Cork fourth, with Regina Dracones not taken lightly either now she goes back up in trip.
