Forecasts

Hazalaya (7/2), Lambada (4/1), Astar (4/1), Water Nymph (4/1), Sugaree (5/1), Stariam (17/2), Lan Mara (20/1), Glen Cusher (28/1), Snowhaven (33/1), Susiesparkle (150/1), Fratas (200/1), Point To Prove (200/1), Chica Linda (200/1)

Aidan O'Brien's Dubawi filly LAMBADA took a big step forward when third at Leopardstown last autumn and is fancied to make a winning return with more to come now stepping up in trip. Stablemate Water Nymph also has the form to play a big part, while Joseph O'Brien's well-related newcomer Sugaree is worth considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.
