Forecasts

Via Rosa (6/4), Malina Girl (2/1), Dominant Beet (9/2), Bessy Bradley (6/1), Slate Gray (9/1), Pour The Wine (10/1), Elusive Touch (16/1), Miss Fourie (33/1), Anna Sewell (33/1), Flemencello (33/1), Coole Og (33/1), Agirlcalledchloe (66/1), One More Lass (80/1), Luck Twice (80/1)

This looks a good opportunity for Padraig Roche's VIA ROSA to get her head in front having shown improvement in each of her 3 runs to date. Malina Girl is proving consistent rather than progressive so she may have to settle for silver, while the Willie Mullins-trained reserves are highly respected if getting a run, too.
