Forecasts

Mollys Mango (1/2), Missus Beeton (9/2), Straight Home (9/1), River Robe (9/1), Idol (11/1), Intertwine (12/1), Sidiriya (16/1), Symbas Spirit (80/1), A La Carte (100/1), Spyfall (125/1), Sineads Fancy (150/1), On The Banks (150/1), Leste (150/1), Brog Ban Espana (150/1), Annie Beag (200/1)

MOLLYS MANGO showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers and now she has her sights lowered can make a winning start in this sphere for her top yard. Sidiriya could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on her Kilbeggan fourth. Missus Beeton also has the form to have a say.
