Forecasts

Lily's Choice (5/4), Royal Moon (7/4), Barton Snow (7/1), Western Flyer (7/1), Ballysheedy (14/1), Walmix (16/1), Younowhatimean (18/1), Elusive P (25/1), Chef D'etat (33/1), The Border Boy (33/1), Lough Muskry (66/1)

LILY'S CHOICE showed plenty of ability in points and is worth chancing on Rules debut for a top stable. Royal Moon is the clear pick of those with experience in this sphere and should pose a big threat, while Western Flyer is likely to compete for a place.
