Forecasts

Fast Tara (5/2), Simply Sideways (7/2), Independent Expert (7/2), Perfect Poise (9/2), Lan Cinnte (7/1), Lady Lunette (8/1), Everylittlestep (12/1), First Snow Moon (18/1), Queenie St Clair (20/1), Belles Feuilles (66/1)

SIMPLY SIDEWAYS and Fast Tara weren't beaten far in a better race than this at the Curragh last time so both are likely to go well, the former shading the vote. Perfect Poise was a good second at Leopardstown on her comeback and is another to consider.
