Forecasts

Sweetest Rose (13/8), Sibyl Charm (5/2), Freedom Falls (7/2), Ferrari Desert (15/2), Nelda (8/1), Es Vedra (50/1), Final Check (50/1), Akeela (125/1)

SIBYL CHARM stepped up on her reappearance when third at the Curragh recently and might be able to make it fourth time lucky. Sweetest Rose reacted well to blinkers last time and is feared most ahead of the reappearing Freedom Falls. Jessica Harrington newcomer Nelda would also come into it if the betting suggests she's fancied.
