Forecasts

Karaoke (5/6), Golden Ash (10/3), Freedom Falls (8/1), Hasten Slowly (17/2), Thebestisyettobe (11/1), Grange Lady (14/1), Moonhall Star (25/1), Kodihill (33/1), Water Mint (33/1)

The betting should reveal plenty here but Joseph O'Brien has his string in good nick so his Acclamation filly KARAOKE can hit the right note on her debut at the chief expense of fellow newcomer Golden Ash. Hasten Slowly appeals most of those to have already seen the racecourse and is next on the list.
