Forecasts

Lord Dudley (5/2), Amazing Emma (7/2), Basharat (15/2), Olivia Valere (15/2), Cnodian (15/2), Breagagh (17/2), Markievicz (12/1), Davitt (16/1), Ablah (22/1), Brokers Tip (22/1), Betrayed (25/1), Tara Power (66/1), Only Jack (80/1), Zen Silence (125/1)

Lots with chances. Henry de Bromhead's OLIVIA VALERE still has few miles on the clock so gets the nod racing off the same mark as when a good fifth over C&D last month. Top-weight Lord Dudley also arrives in fine order and he is feared most ahead of the well-weighted Davitt who could prove a danger to all if shrugging off a lesser recent effort.
