Forecasts

Ashroe Diamond (10/11), Whispering Pines (3/1), North Of Nashville (13/2), Banntown Girl (8/1), Game And Glory (10/1), Mrs Kinsella (16/1), Roisins Ciara (16/1), Cashels Quest (25/1), Skittles (28/1), Donthavetime (33/1), Ramble On Muller (33/1), Milfordfourthree (50/1), Monteip (66/1), Denver City (80/1), Catarocco (200/1)

The bar isn't set all that high by those with form, so well-bred newcomer ASHROE DIAMOND looks a straightforward choice for Willie Mullins, while fellow newcomer Whispering Pines, also a Walk In The Park fillly, could give her most to think about. Point winner North of Nashville also makes plenty of appeal.
