Forecasts

Good Heavens (4/7), Kirati Beach (3/1), Amanirenas (15/2), Federal (17/2)

GOOD HEAVENS holds leading claims on form and is fancied to go one better than when a good runner-up at Killarney. Amanirenas is feared most on the back of her Leopardstown handicap success, with the returning Federal no forlorn hope.
