Forecasts

Cottie (5/4), Mighty Meggsie (11/4), Tom McGreevy (8/1), Wojood (10/1), Floating Around (10/1), Boola Boola (10/1), Makfils (12/1), Clifftop (14/1), Fields Of Dreams (14/1), Young Fitzy (16/1), Khairy (28/1), Believe That (66/1), High Path (100/1), Stronghold (100/1), Dominant Beet (125/1), She's Got Rhythm (200/1), Chief Black Robe (250/1)

COTTIE ran as well as she ever has when seventh in a competitive handicap at Galway 18 days ago, and a reproduction of that form should make her hard to beat back in maiden company. Wojood and Clifftop may give the selection most to think about.
