Forecasts

Blazing Star (15/8), Woodland Garden (3/1), Boyne River (9/2), Frill (5/1), Stardayz (8/1), Mother Country (16/1), Saywhatyouwant (18/1), Lyra Belacqua (25/1), Espouse (28/1), Motheerah (40/1), Nepali (100/1), Chacha Dancer (125/1), Riliya (125/1), Itsnoteasyhi (250/1), Final Payments (250/1), Trustme Imadoctor (250/1)

Plenty in with a shout here. BOYNE RIVER gets the nod given she rates the form pick on her Gowran third last autumn and looks to have more to offer this season. Woodland Garden rates a big threat on the back of her own promising Gowran third, with Cork runner-up Blazing Star another who can make her presence felt.
