Forecasts

Shanadar (11/4), One Boss (10/3), Local Girl (4/1), Blue News (6/1), Jack Red Cloud (9/1), Ocean Symphony (10/1), Baalbec Beauty (14/1), Quick Blessing (20/1), Base Money (25/1), Rival Queen (28/1), Man Is King (125/1), Go Til Its Over (250/1)

ONE BOSS holds the edge on form so looks the way to go on the back of her good recent Bellewstown third. Polytrack-debutante Local Girl appeals as the one to give Jessica Harrington's in-form maiden most to do, with Shanadar also in the mix.
