Forecasts

Royal Eagle (4/1), Ameerat Jumaira (9/2), No Hassle (15/2), Fairytale Princess (8/1), Emotivo (8/1), Sugaree (17/2), Pachmena (10/1), Moonlit Mist (11/1), Influential Lady (12/1), Encosta (18/1), No Niki No (22/1), Effernock Fizz (25/1)

If AMEERAT JUMAIRA comes only a little for last month's Roscommon reappearance second she could prove the answer to a competitive finale. Joseph O'Brien's Sugaree is another who arrives on the back of a good comeback run and is second choice ahead of last-time-out scorers No Hassle and Influential Lady.
