Forecasts

Pink In The Park (7/4), Nikini (9/4), Battling Bessie (5/2), Dorans Weir (9/2), Harmonya Maker (6/1), Eabha Grace (15/2), Chautuaqua (10/1), Nos Na Gaoithe (28/1), Tasiteasai (40/1), Kilbunny Pontic (50/1)

NIKINI didn't have things go her way in a Leopardstown Grade 2 last time and looks well worth another chance to confirm the promise of her easy debut success, with Patrick Mullins seemingly preferring her to Pink In The Park, who was a close fifth in that Leopardstown race. Leopardstown runner-up Battling Bessie also makes the shortlist.
