Forecasts

Burning Lake (7/2), Epaulawn (4/1), Eglish (9/2), Designer Cailin (13/2), Beleaguerment (15/2), Sunset Nova (8/1), Myrcella (9/1), Mulzamm (9/1), Ellabella (10/1), Rosie Rock (16/1), Mokhalad (25/1), Guiding (25/1), Viv Vance (33/1), Samaritaine (33/1), Riva (50/1), Undercommunication (80/1), Wrapitup (100/1)

EPAULAWN made a highly encouraging start for his current stable when narrowly touched off in a better race than this at Fairyhouse last time and, if in the same form, he should take all the beating up against more exposed types. Burning Lake is in a rich vein of form and may well lay down the strongest challenge, ahead of Sunset Nova.
