Forecasts

Mayfair (13/8), Fleur De Chine (9/4), Finsceal Luas (5/1), Gaenari (7/1), Next Trick (12/1), Zaynab (14/1), Money Dancer (16/1), Walkswiththestars (33/1), Bella Mistiko (40/1), Marvellous Lady (125/1), Nativity Square (150/1), Zippy Rocket (150/1), Lismacbryan (200/1), Pearl Of Cotai (200/1), Decorated Princess (200/1), Charli Sands (200/1), Eirinn Rua (200/1), Lismacbryan Hill (250/1), Lady Delila (250/1)

FINSCEAL LUAS showed promise in a decent race here last summer and gets a narrow vote ahead of Aidan O'Brien's Mayfair, who can be expected to step up on the form of her Galway debut in August. Gaenari is one more with a more exposed look about her but she has the form to figure prominently. Next Trick and Fleur de Chine are other likely improvers in the line-up.
