Forecasts

Fortunate Lady (7/2), Ishan (6/1), Killinure Lass (13/2), Two For The Road (13/2), Rochestown (9/1), Esthers Marvel (11/1), Diamond Grove (14/1), Imperial Kate (14/1), Iurkash (14/1), Ocodango Boy (16/1), Cahirmee (16/1), Morrie In D Quarry (25/1), Nimbus Boy (33/1), Courting Vickie (33/1), Wee Jerry (40/1), Allez George (50/1), Thegoaheadman (66/1), Maud Ban (66/1), Eveningofsummer (80/1), Oc Go On (125/1)

A big field but it's hard to warm to the majority. FORTUNATE LADY left her qualifying form well behind when fourth on handicap debut a month ago and with 3m expected to suit, she looks the way to go. Esthers Marvel and Two For The Road are potential threats.
