Forecasts

Kinbara (13/8), Lily's Choice (10/3), Misty's Gift (5/1), Down Around (11/2), High City Roller (9/1), Glendars Mahler (10/1), Coastguard Lady (11/1), Fantasio D'alene (14/1), Lackaneen Mag (33/1), Millie In Milan (40/1), It's Not Ideal (40/1), Shes Overlooked (66/1), Kadys Dirha (66/1), Ripplesinthesand (80/1), Kyle Valley (150/1), Ideal Dilemma (200/1), Bonilla (200/1)

The vote goes to MISTY'S GIFT, who is 0-10 in this sphere but she was clear of the rest when chasing home the progressive An Mhi (successful twice again since) at Ballinrobe last time. A reproduction of that effort would probably be enough to see her home in front here. High City Roller went close starting out for this yard over 2½m here and, with this step up in trip a likely plus, he is the clear main danger. Bumper winner Kinbara is third choice ahead of Lily's Choice.
