Forecasts

Ring O Roses (6/5), Artiste D'ainay (5/2), Ossifer Hops (9/2), Arcland (10/1), Pay The Tab (11/1), Stellium (12/1), Longagoanfarbehind (16/1), Invictus World (18/1), Parish Rivals (33/1), Maxios Show (50/1), Across The Ocean (50/1), Myfiabellaevard (50/1), El Champo (100/1), Mikita (150/1), Our Jervis (150/1), Flippin' Eck (200/1)

RING O ROSES offered plenty to work on when third starting out at Navan in February and with the prospect of more to come, she's more than capable of winning a maiden. Ossifer Hops and Artiste D'ainay look the main threats.
