Forecasts

Mrs Bouquet (11/4), Misterio (4/1), Deidra (4/1), Goodnight Girl (4/1), Affable (5/1), Provocateuse (13/2), Roxette (14/1), Betrayed (33/1)

The way that DEIDRA travelled when fourth in a big field at the Curragh last weekend suggests this drop back to 6f is well worth exploring and she can resume winning ways with Colin Keane taking over from a 5 lb claimer. Mrs Bouquet and Roxette are feared most in an open affair.
