Forecasts

Amemri (11/2), Master Garvey (11/2), Pascalia (13/2), Miss Yvonne (15/2), Western Cape (15/2), Cherry Pink (8/1), Monnow Valley (9/1), Summer Snow (12/1), Elmo Lincoln (12/1), Happenstance (14/1), Queen Mab (14/1), Water Mint (16/1), Ano Manna (16/1), Captain John Barry (20/1), Laudable (22/1), Benerville (25/1), Tasmanian Girl (33/1), Hilltop's Bear (33/1), Below Deck (50/1)

AMEMRI looks the way to go here given she can race off the same mark as when an excellent clear second at Listowel last time. Master Garvey is also weighted to have a say and is rated next best, while Monnow Valley is another who needs factoring in on the back of his very good Killarney third.
