Forecasts

Crossgales Ophelia (13/8), Fanoir (5/2), Raynedanse (7/1), Trouble And Strife (10/1), Mrs Paisley (12/1), It'saleader (12/1), Daisy Dreams (22/1), Another Star (25/1), Lady Whistledown (25/1), Pepperocco (33/1), Allyouneedisone (33/1), Latest Model (40/1), Running Scared (66/1), Ask John O (150/1)

A case of quantity over quality with CROSSGALES OPHELIA selected to come out on top having shown her first form in this sphere when fourth at Naas a fortnight ago. Stepped up in distance, she can open her account. Fanoir matched her fair bumper form at the second attempt over hurdles last month so she's feared most, with Trouble And Strife completing the shortlist.
