Forecasts

Got Glory (8/13), Lady Of The Vale (10/11), Eire Comes Tribsy (10/3), Katherine (6/1), Blenheim Belle (14/1), Sefarina (14/1), Five Minutes More (18/1), Russellsbelle (20/1), Ashdale Flyer (20/1), Sandymount Baby (25/1), O'Faolains Glory (25/1), Winning Mischief (33/1), Amazing Amy (33/1), Toucan Do (40/1), Not Before Time (50/1), Snow Lion (50/1), County Graduate (100/1), Princess Of Paris (100/1)

Preference is for GOT GLORY, who was highly tried on her debut for Willie Mullins last month and could be a different proposition back in maiden company here. Lady of The Vale and Katherine look the likeliest dangers.
