Forecasts

Rock Of Candy (7/2), Butterfly Garden (4/1), Litteratus (5/1), Surac (11/2), Alice Diamond (13/2), Yokkell (15/2), Easky Maid (10/1), Eagles Perch (12/1), Serafina (16/1), Boragh Empress (25/1), Griseo (33/1), Stabila (50/1)

The slightly longer trip should suit ROCK OF CANDY who is given one more chance to confirm the promise of her Gowran third at the beginning of last month. Butterfly Garden has posted 2 solid efforts in big-field handicaps and is feared most ahead of Tipperary second Litteraturs and the Colin Keane-ridden Alice Diamond.
