Forecasts

Mehmar (6/4), Lady Tilbury (5/2), Open Market (11/4), Mether (17/2), Ard Mhacha (20/1), Red Sky At Night (28/1), Profitable Edge (33/1), Sioux Sweet (40/1), Paulliac (80/1), Empress Cotoh (200/1)

LADY TILBURY built on debut promise to run out a ready winner at Cork 25 days ago and looks the one to beat with further improvement on the cards. Mehmar has made an encouraging start to his career and remains with potential, with Open Market also feared after creating a good impression on her debut.
