Forecasts

Topgun Simmy (10/11), Longview Lady (5/4), Meet My Loreley (11/4), Day's A Dawning (6/1), Workinonadream (13/2), French Milan (22/1), Western Summer (40/1), Tubberrobe (66/1), Runremyrun (66/1), Brave Crogha (80/1), Lake Manzaleh (80/1)

LONGVIEW LADY was a warm order in the betting prior to making an encouraging start at Killarney and she could find enough improvement to get the better of the likes of Topgun Simmy and Meet My Loreley, who have both achieved a bit more than the selection. Day's A Dawning is the clear pick of the newcomers.
