Forecasts

Rose In The Park (3/1), Rosalys (10/3), Now So Jake (7/2), One Big Boum (4/1), Built By Rossies (9/2), Magellan Strait (5/1), Just Three (9/1), Beaufort Scale (11/1), Miners Bridge (11/1), Kerlogue (16/1), Camino Rock (18/1), Sunshine Diamond (20/1), Mount Shenshan (22/1), Backonthegoagain (28/1), The Dagda (50/1), Burren View (66/1), Star In The Park (100/1), Pasquetta (125/1), And Still I Rise (200/1)

Henry de Bromhead's ROSALYS is progressing with each run over hurdles and can now open her account after a fairly useful effort when runner-up at Punchestown last time out. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Magellan Strait brings plenty of potential to this sphere though so can't be discounted lightly, with One Big Boum and Beaufort Scale in the mix for minor honours.
