Forecasts

Ashwiyaa (13/8), Zelestial (11/4), Blue Poppy (10/3), Rush Queen (15/2), Zona Verde (11/1), Lia Fail (14/1), Lough Lannagh (100/1)

There was a lot to like about ASHWIYAA's opening third at Cork last month and she's the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Newcomer Blue Poppy is a likely type on paper and it would be no surprise were she to provide the main threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Joseph O'Brien's Zelestial is another who could go well.
