Forecasts

Sweetest (4/5), Vivienda (11/2), Heavenly Being (11/2), Back Down Under (7/1), Emerald Banner (8/1), Bonbon (14/1), Galel (18/1), Matter Of Fact (22/1), Soar Beyond (28/1), Avanti Avana (80/1), The Crafty Girl (80/1), Edella (150/1)

SWEETEST failed to land the odds on her recent debut at Cork but will have learned plenty from that initial third and Aidan O'Brien's well-related Blue Point filly can get off the mark now. Back Down Under is feared most on the back of her recent course third, with Jessica Harrington's Heavenly Being and newcomers Vivienda and Galel others who could have a say in an intriguing maiden.
