Forecasts

Double Or Bubble (5/4), Valeria Messalina (5/2), Happy Romance (5/1), Keep Busy (11/2), Bimble (14/1), Lovely Breeze (14/1), Glesga Gal (16/1), Dandalla (16/1), Mishal Star (16/1), More Beautiful (20/1), Friendly (25/1), Final Option (28/1), Chocoya (33/1), Shuthoor (40/1), Shepherds Way (50/1)

VALERIA MESSALINA is coming to the boil now, turning in her best effort of the season when runner-up in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago, and she's well worth a try at this trip given the pace she has shown. Double Or Bubble is also a leading player on form and is another who shouldn't be hindered by the shorter distance, with Happy Romance and Keep Busy others to consider.
