Forecasts

Mare Quimby (11/4), Two Shoe Tom (10/3), Dazzling Dove (5/1), Getaway Queen (7/1), Marvel Fan (10/1), Courting Vickie (10/1), Chacha Dancer (14/1), Breezy Bell (14/1), Windsor Diamond (20/1), Ballyeden Lass (22/1), Irregularheartbeat (28/1), Haveuseentherain (33/1), Runway Queen (40/1)

TWO SHOE TOM was only narrowly denied in a big field at Leopardstown last time and might be up to giving the weight away here. Getaway Queen had a productive 2021 and may provide the chief threat if she's fully primed after a break. Breezy Bell and Marvel Fan also make the shortlist.
