Forecasts

Mauiewowie (5/2), Treasure Trove (3/1), Fix You (10/3), Maria Branwell (13/2), Apricot Twist (7/1), Ocean Jewel (7/1), Nelda (10/1), Badb (11/1), Basil Martini (12/1), Lady Tilbury (14/1), Sioux Spirit (22/1), All Things Nice (25/1), Amazon Lady (28/1), Anann (33/1)

MAUIEWOWIE ended 2022 on the up with a listed success at the Curragh and Ger Lyons' filly is fancied to return in style here at the chief expense of Fairyhouse listed runner-up Ocean Jewel, who also looks to have better days ahead of her this term. Alice Haynes' challenger Fix You and Treasure Trove complete the shortlist.
