Forecasts

Longview Lady (6/5), Royal Moon (3/1), Minella Diamond (9/2), Sequestered (5/1), Final Edgar (10/1), Silver Lark (16/1), Henry Danger (66/1), The Contractor (80/1), Hurry Up Allen (80/1), Sister Emmanuel (100/1), The Shantou King (150/1), The Coach Lady (200/1)

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal with SILVER LARK getting the vote to get back on track after a below-par effort at Clonmel 10 weeks ago. Willie Mullins is represented by Longview Lady and she ticks plenty of boxes, with Royal Moon and Minella Diamond another couple worth keeping an eye on.
