Forecasts

National Gallery (5/2), Juno Beach (5/1), Might And Mercy (6/1), Little Queenie (7/1), Pandemic Princess (9/1), Ano Syra (11/1), Sceolan (12/1), Coumshingaun (14/1), Approach To Life (16/1), Pearl Palinka (16/1), B United (20/1), Ta Na La (25/1), Jupiter Express (33/1), Queen's Pardon (33/1), Missy Zippy (33/1)

NATIONAL GALLERY progressed again when landing a 14-runner maiden at Dundalk in January and with winners coming out of that race, his opening mark could be lenient. There's obvious depth to this 3-y-o contest, with Little Queenie and Might And Mercy just a couple of potential dangers.
