Forecasts

Miss Tapley (8/15), It'sonlyjustbegun (4/1), Solomon Coop (7/1), Buttermere Ridge (15/2), Gandolfo (9/1), Babich (16/1), You Done Well (125/1), Magic Defense (200/1), Storm Tracker (200/1)

MISS TAPLEY made a promising start to her career when second at Galway in September and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better with improvement forthcoming. Gandolfo would have claims if bouncing back from a poor showing at Naas on his final 2-y-o outing, while It'sonlyjustbegun shaped with some encouragement on her recent debut at Leopardstown and ought to improve.
