Forecasts

Queen Of Ours (8/11), She's Local (5/2), Reinforce (3/1), Autumnal Breeze (10/1), Bedelia (11/1), Hilltop's Surprise (14/1), Kami (16/1), Lazer Port (28/1)

Preference is for QUEEN OF OURS, who stepped up on her debut effort when runner-up at Cork last month and should have more to offer. She's Local and Reinforce look the likeliest dangers.
