Forecasts

Rosscarbery (15/8), Lily Pond (9/2), Emily Dickinson (13/2), Quenelle D'or (9/1), Forbearance (10/1), Mighty Blue (11/1), Federica Sophia (14/1), Lady Hayes (18/1), Pita Pinta (18/1), Garden Paradise (20/1), Moon Daisy (28/1), Kiss You Later (33/1)

Even allowing for her weighing in light (in rather bizarre circumstances), ROSSCARBERY still ran a cracker in the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh 11 days ago and, down in grade, she makes the most appeal despite the presence of Lily Pond, who is open to improvement having been third to the selection at Cork last time. Mighty Blue is also considered.
