Forecasts

Karlsberg (7/2), Secret Road (5/1), She's In The Game (5/1), Wee Pablo (9/1), Linus Larrabee (10/1), Earls (12/1), Aloysius Lilius (12/1), Youceeyouceecee (14/1), Tullypole Annie (14/1), Gordon Bennett (18/1), Clara's Approach (20/1), Arcanears (20/1), Mary Salome (25/1), Rosie Rock (25/1), Noirvento (33/1), Princess Plumeria (33/1), Double Kodiac (33/1), Cleveleys (40/1), We're On The Way (66/1), Only Jack (66/1), Avagardner (80/1), Enter The Red (80/1), Taggalo (100/1), Royal Hideaway (125/1)

SHE'S IN THE GAME looks better than ever, having more in hand than the winning margin would imply at Cork last time, so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Improving 3-y-os Karlsberg and Secret Road also arrive on the back of good wins, so they head the dangers.
