11/4

Forecasts

Tanaiyla (11/4), Smullen's Pride (3/1), Arinniti (5/1), Excelia (13/2), Oasis Queen (13/2), Little Keilee (8/1), Ooh La Belle (12/1), Madakasham Jam (14/1), Summer Snow (25/1), Giselles Romance (25/1), Mrs Marion (33/1)

TANAIYLA was a tad disappointing at the Curragh last time, but that race has already started to produce winners, so she's worth another chance to build on her promising debut. Oasis Queen is easily the most interesting of the newcomers before market clues, while Excelia can also get involved if returning to the form she showed on her penultimate run.
