Forecasts

Spanish Cara (6/5), Transcending Glory (9/4), Gaenari (4/1), Zarra Ellis (17/2), Badda Bing (9/1), Expound (10/1), She's Smart (20/1), Bright Lightening (50/1), Empress Alma (80/1), Ragtime Milly (150/1), Layoftheland (200/1), Pocket Paralysis (200/1), Making A Move (200/1), Miss Bowers (200/1)

GAENARI is the clear form pick and, while she wasn't quite on her game on return at the Curragh, she was spared a hard race and this looks a good opportunity, so she's preferred to Spanish Cara, who is open to improvement. Transcending is the pick of the remainder.
