Forecasts

Butterflyvespiere (2/1), Moonlit Wings (2/1), Wat Ua Doin (5/2), Presenting Bonnie (6/1), Diaspora (8/1), Judy's Girl (8/1), Le Fou's Keep (25/1), Sula Warrior (25/1), Red Finch (28/1), Cassidys Girl (28/1), It's Time Again (33/1), Icee M B A (33/1), Millies Mite (40/1), Blossomfort Bay (80/1), Classic Storm (150/1)

MOONLIT WINGS rates the form pick on her debut Leopardstown effort so gets the nod in a race where few make much appeal. Butterflyvespiere rates a big threat now back in this sphere while Wat Ua Doin is another who should have a say for her new yard.
