Forecasts

Benkogambit (2/1), International Lady (5/1), Sincerest (7/1), Abogados (15/2), Valderrama (8/1), Flexible Approach (14/1), Breagagh (14/1), Miss March (16/1), Ceapach Rua (16/1), Molly Grue (20/1), Whipsaw (22/1), Dream Katcher (22/1), Faraway Dreams (25/1), Enger (25/1), My Friend Fred (33/1), Dragon Quest (33/1), Harmonisation (50/1)

Joseph O'Brien probably holds the key to this, with MISS MARCH taken to strike now handicapping, though Sincerest probably has a bigger effort in her too. Benkogambit can't be discounted after another good run at Gowran.
