Forecasts

Killoughteen (3/1), Elusive Sea (3/1), Stellar Symphony (9/2), Time To Rocco (5/1), Saint Bernadette (9/1), Dot Cotton (10/1), Just Hannah (12/1), Balum (18/1), Ar Aghaidh (20/1), Twolittlegirls (20/1), Blossom De Mai (28/1), Robindale (50/1), Darling Valentine (66/1), The Grey Goose (100/1), Madame Milan (125/1)

KILLOUGHTEEN sets a good standard on form so is fancied to open her account at the chief expense of Sligo third Elusive Sea who looks to have more to offer. Saint Bernadette and Stellar Symphony appeal as the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
