Forecasts

Golden Glen (11/5), Knock Na Rea (11/4), Flamin Aimee (3/1), Loughaneala Og (11/2), Fire Love (8/1), Misty Millie (9/1), Cornakill Rose (16/1), Halcyon Dreams (18/1), Dympnas Well (20/1), Intermedia (20/1), Jubatus (20/1), Hopefully (66/1)

FLAMIN AIMEE has run well when fresh before and could be the answer to the second division of this mares' handicap. Rachael Blackmore gets the leg up on Misty Millie who will be a big danger if recapturing the form of her penultimate Kilbeggan second. Knock Na Rea was consistent last season and also makes the shortlist.
