Forecasts

Nelda (10/3), Uncanny (4/1), Come On The Lads (13/2), Unassuming (13/2), State Actor (15/2), Concluding Call (8/1), Johanna Whitty (17/2), Expound (14/1), Spitfire Fighter (22/1), Wisdomofhindsight (25/1), Jack McNamara (25/1), Sevensees (28/1), Gunsight (33/1), Cyprus Springs (66/1), Passionate (80/1), Calzaghi (80/1), Winning Smut (80/1), Lord Of Excess (100/1), Harseva (100/1), Eight By Ten (150/1), Reckless Quality (200/1), Crystal's Heir (200/1), Beaumadier (200/1), Silky Suilleabhain (250/1)

The pick of NELDA's 3-y-o sets the standard in this big-field maiden and with fitness unlikely to be an issue given the yard she represents, she looks the way to go. State Actor and Expound are viable threats.
