Forecasts

Pink In The Park (8/13), Roccos Inspiration (9/2), Dame Rapide (5/1), Kates Hill (11/2), Lady Of The Vale (25/1), Mi Lucky Cailin (28/1), Stormalong (33/1), Dalgan Park (33/1), Glory Liss (40/1), Cool Legacy (40/1), Bella Be Good (66/1), Princess Of Paris (100/1), Copper Coast (150/1), Weekly Present (150/1), Twolittlegirls (150/1), Youre A Derry Girl (150/1), Laws Of Glory (200/1), Seriously Ava (200/1), Zingara Lass (200/1), Bothar Tara (250/1), Back Chat (250/1)

DAME RAPIDE promises to be suited by this longer trip given how she shaped in a well-contested event at Punchestown 11 days ago, so she's put forward as the answer. Pink In The Park is feared most back in calmer waters, with Kates Hill pick of the remainder.
