Forecasts

Intersky Sunset (5/1), What An Ocean (11/2), Pirate Bonnie (11/2), Glorious Singer (13/2), Kopon (13/2), Milfordfourthree (15/2), Greenhill Damsel (14/1), Lady Masquerade (14/1), Buttons And Bows (14/1), Dream Once More (16/1), Aegirine (18/1), Joeswayornoway (20/1), The Big Cloud (22/1), Shana Cloon (22/1), Lily's Choice (22/1), Wild Caprice (25/1), Mason Lady (25/1), Ella Rose (40/1), Cristiano Marealdo (40/1), Essential Part (50/1), Aleish Lass (50/1), Some Joke (66/1), Five Minutes More (125/1)

The vote goes to MILFORDFOURTHREE, who is 0-10 over hurdles but she performed well enough when fourth off this mark at Limerick last time to be given a fighting chance in a race of this nature. Greenhill Damsel didn't shape badly when returning to action at Galway and she could be a threat, while Intersky Sunset, a winner between the flags last time, and What An Ocean also enter calculations.
