Forecasts

Sherpa Trail (4/1), Marie Paradis (4/1), No Such Luck (9/2), Doonbeg Farmer (6/1), Lake Sand (8/1), Pedestal (17/2), Parikarma (17/2), Recuerdame (9/1), Violet's Lads (12/1), Cafe Sydney (12/1), Tokyo Chic (33/1), Dylan's Ruby (100/1)

MARIE PARADIS is relatively unexposed at this trip and showed a good attitude to open her account over C&D last time, so she takes preference over fellow last-time-out winners Pedestal and No Such Luck. The consistent Cafe Sydney could also make her presence felt.
