Forecasts

Albula (3/1), Sunset Shiraz (10/3), Hello You (4/1), Concert Hall (9/2), Cigamia (5/1), Trevaunance (11/2), Seisai (7/1), Tranquil Lady (12/1), Madonnadelrosario (33/1), Lovely Mana (100/1), Pink Fire Lilly (400/1)

SUNSET SHIRAZ sets the standard on the back of her excellent third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at this C&D 2 weeks ago and she can take advantage of the drop back in class. Albula failed to land the odds in a Group 3 here but it was still a good effort and she remains with potential after just 2 runs, while her stablemate Tranquil Lady looked a good prospect when scoring at Galway.
