Forecasts

Sweet Molly Malone (11/4), The Blue Brilliant (10/3), Maoilin (10/3), Magic Chegaga (7/1), Princesse Mathilde (15/2), Cecelia Clementine (12/1), Hamley (12/1), Sheishybrid (12/1), Pita Pinta (25/1), Bynx (25/1), Maar (33/1), Pempie (40/1)

SWEET MOLLY MALONE improved when making a winning handicap debut upped to 9.2f at Leopardstown last month and, with the prospect of even better to come now that she moves up in trip again, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly will take plenty of stopping, despite an 8 lb rise. Maoilin, who was fourth in that Leopardstown handicap, remains open to improvement, but The Blue Brilliant is second choice.
