Forecasts

Ojw Legacy (2/1), Sir Sagacious (4/1), Four Blondes (9/2), Gaenari (5/1), Beatrix Power (6/1), Yefimenko (13/2), Prince Of Eyeries (12/1), Speedwood (20/1), Dc Diva (25/1), Blue Balle (66/1), Ace In The Pack (66/1), Never Thought (100/1), Eccellente (125/1), Set To Win (150/1), Moltophino (200/1), It's A Gamble (200/1), Adam's Boy (200/1), Leni Mo (200/1), Making A Move (250/1), Mighty Brave (250/1)

The market can prove a good guide but OJW LEGACY rates the form pick on her recent second here so is taken to gain a deserved first success. Beatrix Power came in a couple of places behind her there and looks the main danger, although Ger Lyons' newcomer Yefimenko and Dundalk runner-up Sir Sagacious both need factoring in too.
