Forecasts

River Tara (6/5), Final Decision (3/1), I Am Shadow (8/1), Slim Marvel (10/1), Oneforthefairgreen (11/1), Marvel Star (14/1), Pampar Lady (16/1), Royal Cave (22/1), Noble Annys (33/1), Silverfort Lady (33/1), Countess Dash (40/1), County Graduate (40/1), Cast A Spell (80/1), Emily In Paris (80/1)

FINAL DECISION left her previous form behind when third at Thurles last time, keeping on having been denied a clear run home turn, and she can build on that effort to open her account this time around. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of the consistent I Am Shadow, while Slim Marvel could progress from her Rules debut.
