Forecasts

Coumshingaun (11/4), Touching Clouds (4/1), Vernet (4/1), Many Tears (9/2), Red Heel (7/1), Plume Noire (8/1), Marsa (9/1), Not Even Close (10/1), Silken Ladder (11/1), Little Queenie (12/1), Capuchinero (12/1), Sheyya (14/1), Fox Degree (40/1)

MARSA shaped as if needing her comeback run at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and remains potentially well treated on turf. Not Even Close, Touching Clouds and Many Tears are open to progress, so they head the dangers.
