Forecasts

Ruleout (5/2), Tom McGreevy (3/1), Miss Arccol (9/2), Iknownothing (17/2), Blossomfort Bay (11/1), Larkhill Lady (12/1), Ladymorata (14/1), Go Gill Go (16/1), The Cilleens (16/1), Orcadian Symphony (16/1), Military Star (16/1), Thalitleozibatler (18/1), Pope Liam (28/1), La Baie (33/1), Black Pearl Johnny (50/1), Sumtinboutporter (66/1), Early Derby (200/1)

Though MISS ARCCOL failed to build on her encouraging reappearance effort when sixth at Wexford last time, she nevertheless performed well enough to make her of strong interest in this contest, which comprises a far greater concentration of quantity than quality. Stablemates Iknownothing, Orcadian Symphony and Sumtinboutporter may all have a part to play, while Tom McGreevy also merits respect.
