Forecasts

Carrigmoorna Queen (8/13), Our Girl Sal (7/2), Lady Of The Vale (9/2), Balum (6/1), I Am Shadow (14/1), C'est Rien (20/1), Thanksathousand (25/1), Winning Mischief (25/1), Bint Freya (33/1), Keep D Change (33/1), Snow Secret (33/1), Nowinittowinit (40/1), Cassarina Gold (50/1)

CARRIGMOORNA QUEEN showed plenty amidst inexperience when second at Punchestown on debut 7 months ago and, with progress on the cards, she's likely to go one better. Lady of The Vale and Balum arrive on the back of improved efforts and could fight it out if the selection underperforms.
