Forecasts

The Folkes Tiara (15/8), Banntown Girl (11/4), Fameaftertheglory (4/1), Eyre Square (6/1), Gold Cup Bailly (7/1), The Tack Room (20/1), Baldur's Gate (20/1), Cru Bourgeois (25/1), Gap Of Dunloe (50/1), Sevenna Star (50/1), Arctic Skua (66/1), Boss Girl (100/1), Lizrona (125/1), Psychee Du Brizais (125/1)

A winner of his sole start in points, THE FOLKES TIARA got back on track over hurdles when runner-up at Clonmel last month and he can build on that effort to make a winning chase debut. Gold Cup Bailly was also successful on his only outing in points and can go well starting off over fences, while Fameaftertheglory can improve from his chasing bow upped in trip.
