Forecasts

Snaffles (9/4), Tut Tut (5/2), Gaire Os Ard (9/2), Gabbys Girl (15/2), Capitulation (12/1), Hardly Useless (12/1), Cedro (16/1), Eastern Wind (22/1), Basia (25/1), Cuala Bula (50/1), Mr Globalist (50/1), Threescoreandten (150/1)

TUT TUT was denied only by a subsequent Group 2 winner at Fairyhouse on debut and her subsequent effort is easy enough to excuse, so she's worth another chance to improve from that initial outing and open her account. Gabbys Girl is a danger back down in grade, while Snaffles is an interesting newcomer for a top yard.
