Forecasts

Sea Sessions (5/1), Classical Memories (6/1), Our Secret Pearl (6/1), Lily Of The Glen (13/2), Dawn Tapper (7/1), Bella Coaster (17/2), Maloja (10/1), Church Mountain (10/1), Queen Amanirenas (11/1), Esmureyes (12/1), Go Large (14/1), Chacha Dancer (14/1), Calvados (16/1), Bader Ginsburg (18/1), Forever My Girl (22/1), Fancy Red Diamond (25/1), Many Words (28/1), Voler Mon Coeur (33/1), Al Rafiq (66/1)

A wide-open closing contest with a host in with a chance. However, preference is for LILY OF THE GLEN, who took her form up a notch when fifth on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last month and has every chance of opening her account back down in trip if she can build on that effort. Bella Coaster, Sea Sessions and Classical Memories are just a trio of possible dangers.
