Forecasts

Soloman Lane (10/3), Shes Some Doll (5/1), Arctic Ambition (5/1), Yabo (11/2), Bay Ambition (13/2), Shantou Lucky (13/2), Extreme Cacao (15/2), Sunnyvilla (10/1), Halsafari (12/1), Priory Park (14/1), Broken Ice (16/1)

SHES SOME DOLL is prone to mistakes over fences, but she looks capable of winning off this mark if putting it all together. Soloman Lane arrives on the back of a career-best win at Punchestown and is another to consider, while Arctic Ambition is worth another chance given his overall profile.
