Forecasts

Onameridance (11/4), Chaos Control (3/1), Rock Of Candy (4/1), Highland King (9/2), Action Motion (13/2), Capitulation (12/1), Bridgehead (12/1), Golden Ticket (16/1), Sovereignty (28/1), Domestic Goddess (66/1), Blackbearmountain (66/1)

ONAMERIDANCE wasn't seen to best effect following a slow start in a race working out well at Killarney last month, so she remains one to be interested in. Rock of Candy and Highland King are feared most in that order.
