Forecasts

Powerful Out (7/4), Miss Arccol (3/1), Aunty Audrey (11/2), Where's Bunny (7/1), Grinn (10/1), I Sea The Moon (14/1), Zinat (22/1), Mater Matuta (25/1), Samantha Sunshine (25/1), Howluckycanwebe (25/1), Larkhill Lady (40/1), Capel At Dawn (40/1), Ballydunblaze (80/1)

MISS ARCOOL is going the right way and had a bit up her sleeve when scoring at Cork 11 days ago, so she's an obvious selection up against a bunch who mostly have something to prove. Grinn is one of the few who arrives in form, so he's arguably the main threat ahead of Where's Bunny.
