Forecasts

Eyre Square (2/1), Copper Nation (11/4), Emily Roebling (4/1), Vibrance (6/1), Fons Vivus (15/2), North Of Nashville (14/1), Highland Penny (16/1), Miranda Priestly (20/1), Bluebell Diva (25/1), Via Rosa (25/1), Knockbrack Lady (28/1), Good As Hell (40/1), Kilbeg Rocco (40/1), Easter Recital (50/1), Costanuci (100/1), Carroll's Pride (200/1), Celtic Salvador (200/1), Rose Mahler (300/1), Ma Hoey (400/1), Cathy West (400/1)

EYRE SQUARE arrives on the back of an excellent Wexford second and Gavin Cromwell's fair hurdler looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account. Emily Roebling has the form to run her close and is next on the list ahead of Vibrance and North of Nashville.
