Forecasts

Roedora (5/2), Vico Rock (10/3), Pinky (9/2), Classy Shuil (10/1), Miss Direct (11/1), Mooneys Princess (12/1), Ceis Charraigin (16/1), Hurricane Honey (20/1), One For Mick (20/1), Wild Mandate (25/1), Heading South (25/1), Olympic Park (28/1), Peppers Corner (50/1), Farmhand Lily (66/1)

ROEDORA's dam and half-sister both won bumpers and she's with a top handler, so she's preferred to Miss Direct, who showed something to work on when fifth at Cork first time out. Pinky is another notable debutant.
