Forecasts

Sally Golightly (7/2), Loom Large (7/2), Alice Diamond (4/1), Haroya (4/1), Gudrun Genberg (13/2), Aghaboy (9/1), Mr Globalist (10/1), Say It So (11/1), Highland King (14/1), Darraby (20/1), Breakintheclouds (20/1), The Insider (20/1), Storm Eric (28/1), Mally Batt (40/1), Stabila (66/1)

SALLY GOLIGHTLY has a solid profile and found some improvement when third at Dundalk a month ago. If she can take another step up, she should take the beating for all this looks quite competitive for the grade. Alice Diamond and Highland King also make plenty of appeal.
