Forecasts

Mighty Jeremy (5/4), Costanuci (7/2), Tingarran Express (7/1), En Avant (7/1), Keep 'em Lit (9/1), Millstream Lady (9/1), Legacy Of Dreams (10/1), Shean Glory (12/1), Lilian Bland (14/1), Givemylovetorose (33/1), Barely Made It (40/1), Catrionas Darling (40/1), Glenvara Lady (66/1)

MILLSTREAM LADY looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so gets the vote at the chief expense of recent course second Tingarran Express. Mighty Jeremy is another who can have a say on the back of his good Cork second.
