Forecasts

Brookline (13/8), Nine Graces (11/4), Henning (9/2), Visible Attraction (13/2), Milajess (11/1), Springtime Promise (12/1), Mitiva (14/1), Katherine (14/1), No Fussing (40/1), Talking To Myself (40/1), Man After Midnight (66/1), Denver City (80/1), Killoughteen (300/1)

BROOKLINE couldn't justify favouritism on her first run for Willie Mullins but it was still an encouraging start for her new stable and she's taken to come good now. Gordon Elliott newcomer Visible Attraction would rate a possible danger if the betting speaks in her favour. Nine Graces and Henning also make the shortlist.
