Forecasts

Flash Bulb (10/11), Zuhra (9/2), Shamiyana (13/2), Kirati Beach (13/2), Porto Cervo (8/1), Sareeha (10/1), Fizzical (16/1), Frankelstein (28/1), Santa Catarina (33/1), Musical Approach (33/1), Blue Peak (33/1), Stormie Outlook (40/1), Komedy Kicks (40/1), Red Trail (40/1), Destivelle (66/1), Madame Montgomery (80/1), Contradanza (80/1), More Tart (200/1), Theresathought (200/1)

FLASH BULB made a promising start when fifth at Cork last autumn and Joseph O'Brien's daughter of Camelot is taken to emerge on top in an open-looking maiden. Zuhra should benefit from the drop back to 1m and seems sure to be on the premises, while Shamiyana has the form to play a big part too if the fitting of a visor has the desired effect.
