Forecasts

Lumiere Rock (15/8), Delightful (2/1), Astar (6/1), Speirling Beag (15/2), Sounds Of Heaven (15/2), High Chieftess (9/1), Bye Bye Bae (80/1), Saoibh (100/1), Lady Allessia (100/1), Stepdance (150/1), Calamint (200/1), Cloughaneely Mor (300/1)

DELIGHTFUL really caught the eye when a debut fourth at the Curragh and this sister to the stable's high-class winner Minding is fancied to take a big step forward and open her account. Lumiere Rock appeals most of the others with racecourse experience and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's filly ahead of newcomers High Chieftess and Sounds of Heaven.
