Forecasts

Judicieuse Allen (6/5), Garde La Peche (2/1), Pallas Athene (3/1), Milanaway (8/1), Hurricane Bailey (12/1), Leitrim Park (28/1), Molly Hall (33/1), Redzy Rocco (40/1), Desperado Genie (40/1), Killeavy Rose (50/1), Stage Lady (50/1), Seren Ni (80/1), Whatyouwant (80/1), Next Question (80/1), Shesabreeze (100/1), Cooltubrid Eva (150/1), Lucy Prunella (150/1), Sineads Fancy (200/1)

GARDE LA PECHE, Judicieuse Allen and Pallas Athene are interesting recruits for their top yards and could be the trio to concentrate on. Peference is for the first-named, who was a facile winner of a maiden point during the spring. Judicieuse Allen, runner-up on her sole start in France, is just about second choice ahead of Pallas Athene. Milanaway is not without each-way hope.
