Forecasts

Lizzy's Filly (6/5), Bua (5/2), Cyclamen (9/2), Vadiana (9/2), Verlinga (6/1), Havana Pearl (10/1), Echoing (12/1), Shining Crystal (14/1), Elda (20/1), Esta Ella Fuera (33/1), Neverfindanother U (40/1), Awqaat (50/1), Snow Lion (66/1), Lottie Go Lightly (66/1), Maid To Shine (80/1), Second Fiddle (125/1)

VADIANA shaped well when runner-up at Bellewstown last month and might be capable of improving past Cyclamen, who has been given a break since her poor run at Gowran in the spring. Like the selection Verlinga should have more to offer and is also on the shortlist under Colin Keane.
