Forecasts

Miss Agusta (1/1), Nine Graces (9/2), Gaillimh A Run (11/2), Katou (11/2), Skinnider (14/1), One Cool Lady (16/1), Moving On Swiftly (40/1), Meet My Loreley (50/1), Where's Teddy (50/1), Rathcannon Violet (66/1), Thats All (200/1)

KATOU is related to winners and reperesents a top stable, so she's fancied to make a winning start at the likely expense of Miss Augusta, who wasn't discredited when fourth in a listed contest at Navan on her first start for Gordon Elliott. One Cool Lady also merits consideration.
