Forecasts

Lily Pond (11/4), Tranquil Lady (3/1), Tosen Lydia (3/1), Eclat De Lumiere (10/3), Albula (6/1), River Rain (10/1), Sister Bridget (40/1)

TRANQUIL LADY wasn't disgraced in a listed contest at Navan a fortnight ago and she could be the answer to what appears to be a pretty open race. Eclat De Lumiere and Lily Pond may emerge as the main dangers, but the unbeaten Tosen Lydia is also accorded respect.
