Forecasts

New York Angel (11/4), Helpmeout (10/3), Indian Sioux (6/1), Glandore Harbour (6/1), Miss Cunning (7/1), Himalayan Beauty (15/2), Sheer Chance (15/2), Sherkin Island (10/1), Chestnutter (14/1), Star Image (16/1), Lovesome Dove (18/1)

HELPMEOUT displayed a good turn of foot when opening her account at Leopardstown and she looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise in the weights. If able to shrug off a below-par recent display at the Curragh, Miss Cunning will be in with a shout, but New York Angel is marginally preferred for forecast purposes.
