Forecasts

Pinar Del Rio (5/2), Rosie Rock (11/4), Eastern Racer (10/3), Helen De Pourtales (5/1), Salt Whistle Bay (6/1), Cedar Rapids (13/2), Tammany Hall (12/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (14/1), Cracking Name (16/1), Basia (20/1), Distant Dawn (20/1), Is Fantastic (22/1), Stamp Of Authority (40/1)

Though she has a bit to prove following a series of low-key performances, ROSIE ROCK managed to land a big-field Leopardstown handicap in May and gets the nod in the hope that she's able to recapture form akin to that here. Pinar Del Rio landed at maiden at the Curragh last season and is the clear pick at the weights, but he's probably not one to lump on at short odds on the back of a thoroughly underwhelming reappearance display. Cedar Rapids is best of the rest.
