Forecasts

Bonne Debut (9/2), Creggsman (11/2), My Newbrook Rose (7/1), Lady L'lerom (15/2), Ruhm Und Ehre (15/2), Minella Away (10/1), Something Sweet (11/1), Balgowlah (11/1), Whatsstoppingyou (12/1), Iluvyounow (16/1), Viking Hoard (16/1), Along Long Story (16/1), Mickey Shea (18/1), Ferrum (20/1), Miss Oriental (20/1), Killinure Lass (22/1), Westernerona (22/1), Grey Habit (22/1), Mooney Boy (40/1), Getaway Pippa (40/1), Black Barrel (50/1), Ask Sarah (50/1), Drishogue Boy (66/1), Oromo (66/1)

Not many arrive with compelling claims. MY NEWBROOK ROSE has been freshened up since a below-par run here in January and had been in good form prior to that so she's the suggestion. Ruhm Und Ehre ran as well as could be in expected in a conditions hurdle last time and is respected back in a handicap. Lady L'erom also makes the shortlist.
