Forecasts

Dolce Far Niente (9/2), Madame Plaintiff (5/1), Limoncello Lady (5/1), Victor's Choice (7/1), Special Angel (7/1), Harry The Rogue (8/1), Private Officer (12/1), Sound Move (12/1), Kilbarry Jack (16/1), Tiffany Mae (18/1), Cornahilt Soldier (22/1), Chou Chou (25/1), T Or Coffey (33/1), Enola Nation (40/1)

It could be worth siding with DOLCE FAR NIENTE, who improved when third in 7f nurseries on her final two starts of last season. The fact that she is proven on deep ground helps tilt the scales in her favour, with main dangers Harry The Rogue and Special Angel yet to encounter such conditions. Victor's Choice was second on heavy at Galway during the autumn and will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break.
