Forecasts

Yamalia Star (5/1), Rioja Alta (5/1), Jeaniemacaroney (5/1), Grey Fable (6/1), Macinamillion (6/1), Timeless Piece (15/2), Laudable (8/1), Susiesparkle (10/1), The Great Kingdom (12/1), Cosmic Lady (14/1)

Joseph O'Brien saddles two appealing candidates in THE GREAT KINGDOM and Jeaniemacaroney. The latter is bound to be popular on the back of her improved handicap debut near-miss at the Curragh but The Great Kingdom has been handed what could be a lenient opening mark and he is marginally preferred. Laudable and Yamalia Star are others to consider.
